UNC Ruling

Please tell me how giving these athletes higher grades and take BS classes to pass is much different than giving Fab Melo and co extension on papers or raising their grades? This should be easy. If wins aren't vacated I wonder if Cuse can go back and get Jim's back.


The thing that continues to tick me off about the Fab Melo situation is that he got suspended for a game (or was it 3?) during the regular season when this came out. He was punished! And then they announced his suspension again, for a second time, right before the tournament. Apart from everthing else, that's double jeopardy.
 
They’re going to get hammered. This is why there’s a lack of institutional control charge. This is the epitome of it.


Any rational person would think so, but I won't believe it until it happens.

UNC: NCAA set to release its infractions report on Friday

UNC NCAA: North Carolina gets ready to receive and responds to the NCAA's final report into the long-running academic scandal. (AP Sports)


On Friday, the NCAA will release its final infractions report on the long-running academic scandal at the University of North Carolina. Inside Carolina reports that the university was given 24 hours of notice on Thursday morning.

The report, which was scheduled to come out last Friday, will arrive about eight weeks after UNC met with the NCAA Committee on Infractions in Nashville, Tennessee. This investigation took many turns over the course of seven-plus years; tomorrow may finally provide some answers.

Last November, the COI wrote a letter to the NCAA enforcement staff to revisit the second notice of allegations from April. That led to the newest NOA, issued to UNC on Dec. 13, 2016.

North Carolina faces five Level I allegations, which were announced in that third Notice of Allegations. Men’s basketball and football were both named in this report.



Here are the allegations:
  1. Extra benefits provided by AFAM department manager Julius Nyang’oro and his assistant Deborah Crowder in the form of special arrangements for student-athletes. “Particularly in the sports of football and men’s basketball,” from the fall of 2002 through the summer of 2011. The NCAA deems this an ethical conduct violation.
  2. Extra benefits provided by women’s basketball athletic academic counselor Jan Boxill in the form of impermissible academic assistance to women’s basketball student-athletes. That existed from February 2003 to July 2010.
  3. Crowder failing to furnish information to the NCAA.
  4. Nyang’oro failing to furnish information to the NCAA.
  5. Lack of institutional control from fall of 2002 through the summer of 2011.
Later this year, in May, UNC responded to that NOA; at that time, the university denied multiple allegations.



Will we have a resolution tomorrow?
Well, probably not. North Carolina has 15 days to decide if it wants to appeal the the NCAA’s ruling, per NCAA bylaws. Beyond that, however: the appeals process could take up to 110 days. That would take this well into 2018.

Even then, a conclusive result could come further down the road. UNC could pursue a legal case after the appeals process, too.

It wasn't a punishment, it was SU removing an ineligible player for the sake of self-preservation.
 
Roy Allen Williams will have his middle name stripped from him for two years. He will not even be permitted to use his middle initial.

I do not recall it being voluntary on the part of SU.

After all these years, released same day as Late Night with Roy where an NCAA title banner is raised. You just can’t make this $&@% up...

Jay misses the point.
This is actually maximum efficiency.
They can raise the banner and then take it right down.
Minimal time and effort.
 
I feel badly for Carolina fans, especially my dearest friend Chapel Hill Bill. They don’t “deserve” this any more than we “deserved” it. It just sucks. Yes, Carolina deserves sanctions but many of the wrong people will suffer for what other people did.
 
Their basketball punishment will be unprecedented:
ten years of scholarship reduction; starting at 4 per year for two years, 3 per year for 2 years, 2 per year for three years and 1 per year for three years.
forfeiture of all games where any scholarship player would have been ineligible if not for the course, including tournament games.
probation for 5 years.
fines.
suspension of Roy for 10 games.
recruiting travel restrictions.

I can't predict anything. What would be unprecedented is if a team like UNC gets hit hard at all. I'm not sure how you came up with this kind of prediction but it's at LEAST what is deserved. If something like this comes down for the hoops program, my jaw would be on the floor.

One can dream. But, in reality it doesn't help us or the conference if UNC's athletics program gets reduced to dust. While I would like to see them knocked down a peg; as an SU and ACC fan, I am not in favor of seeing a draconian penalty imposed because an irrelevant UNC hurts us in the long run....especially with all of the negative noise circulating around Louisville and Miami's hoops programs.

What happens to ACC basketball if UNC, Louisville and Miami are all on probation with signficant recruiting restrictions at the same time? The quality of basketball in the conference goes down and it gives one of the other conferences a chance to make in roads into ACC dominance.
