UNC Ruling

[cuseinseattle]

I will say the based on recent events the NCAA is not happy and Roy gets the JAB/Pitino penalties. Suspensions plus loss of schollies. Anything less and it's a sham.

It's a sham

 

[Trueblue25]

It'd bring me such joy seeing the NCAA pluck a ring or two out of Roy Williams famous ring display

 

[cuseinseattle]

No friggin way. I'll be floored if they get hit with anything significant.

I'm guessing a 1 year ban for their football team and no bowl game this year. Also women's cross country has to give back all of their wins. This is just a guess. It probably won't be that harsh.

 

[cuseinseattle]

I think the NCAA in the wake of the FBI raid, would be hesitate to come off as too soft.

If we were talking about anyone besides the NCAA I would tend to agree with you

I agree that it'll be something like that. How the hell can they justify giving football a ban and not hoops?

McCants is going to cost them the 2005 title. Even if they don't get a ban.

I agree with this...the NCAA would have to give a whistleblower something.

 

[Alsacs]

Fab Melo scandal killed us yet the NCAA has had this out there.

McCants says he took sham classes at UNC

 

[reedny]

My prediction:
Football - loss of 10 ships and a 1 year bowl ban.
Women's basketball - loss of a couple ships, post season ban
Men's basketball - nothing.

McCants is going to cost them the 2005 title. Even if they don't get a ban.

I believe UNC's 05 NC team had like 10 kids who were MAJORING in AFAM studies. Although that season is just prior to the period mentioned in the amended NOV, given that there were so many ineligible players and McCant's admitted academic fraud, the enforcement committee would have to do a backflip to let the 2005 NC stand. Anything's possible - it's the NCAA.

Ten members of UNC’s 2005 national championship team, for instance, majored in AFAM. By the 2008-09 academic year, when UNC won its second national championship under coach Roy Williams, men’s basketball players’ enrollments in the suspect AFAM classes had declined considerably.

UNC accused of no new major violations in NCAA’s amended notice of allegations

I agree, but I don't think they know how to get hard.

They can't. The NCAA is in the unique position of never having the justify anything they do, or be held responsible or any decisions they make.

I know. It was a rhetorical question. That organization is a joke.

Whatever comes down, it'll be interesting to hear what Jay Bilas has to say.

 

[721Comstock]

It's a sham

It's a travesty of a mockery of a sham.

 

[pearl31]

as a few others have surmised:
penalties on other sports besides M-BB will be heavy-handed/harsh - while M-BB will get a wrist slap at most - couple of schollies MAYBE... you're fooling yourself if you think they'll get an actual penalty

Their football has already self imposed a bowl ban this year with their play on the field.

 

[Cusefan0307]

False alarm. Nothing received.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

 

[iommi]

Well, that's fitting. This thread and investigation both amount to nothing.

 

[bballbeadle]

Syracusefan meltdown imminent.

It's all about us!!!!

 

[Janner]

On the flip side they could have signed N. Little to fill as many scholarships as possible so the NCAA couldn't take them away immediately (this year or next). This would give them time to fight this in court before the scholarship reductions kick in

But that idea goes out the window if they allow immediate eligibility transfers.

 

[Cusefan95]

Is it possible that the NCAA planned to give UNC a slap on the wrist, but are revisiting that in light of the FBI stuff?

Honestly, if UNC gets off easy here - the optics for the NCAA are horrible.

I agree that the optics would be horrible - though that hasn't really bothered the NCAA in previous cases. The only hope we have of seeing justice served in this case which is the hoop team getting hit - is if the NCAA got spooked by the FBI stuff. I'm still on the record - hoops gets nothing.

That is exactly what i think it is.

 

[Cusefan0307]

The UNC board believes they asked to hold off the ruling because they are due to announce a University long term 4 billion dollar capital plan that they didn't want it overshadowed by the NCAA news.

 

[OttoMets]

Just chiming in to remind the angry mob that Syracuse's sanctions were announced on 6 March...a Friday. Nothing unusual here.
