Message: [QUOTE="reedny, post: 1840861, member: 1423"] I don't see how they can let UNC off the hook here. First of all, if small-scale academic cheating is a violation, mass-scale cheating must also be. Steering athletes to fake classes and artificial A's is no different in principle than adding footnotes to a player's paper to help him pass a course. It's a benefit that disproportionately boosted the GPA's of UNC athletes to keep them eligible. The NCAA doesn't have to evaluate the "quality" of the AFAM courses. All it has to do is recognize that AFAM benefitted athletes disproportionately, to keep them eligible. That's basically what the NOV states. [/QUOTE]
