UNC Ruling

UNCheat

 

[retro44]

I want to personally thank UNC/NCAA on how to cheat the system academically and not face the consequences...SU just make up a few course and let some students in the classes as precedent has been set.

There is no way the NCAA as we know it today will be around in five years. Hopefully it's replacement will be much more in tune with the real problems of college athletics.

That's who just represented UNC ironically.

UNC had a huge team of in-house lawyers working on this case for years. One that I know, said they were "knee-deep" at one point within the past 6 months. I was expecting a hammer to come down here.

Worst organization:
FIFA
IOC
NCAA

Probably still NAMBLA

 

[Alsacs]

So at this point the NCAA solely exists to make sure that the money earned by Football players and basketball players is funneled to mostly crooked adults.

I'm at a loss for words. I haven't been this upset in a while. Utter nonsense. Boeheim better get his wins back!

well, if JB is found to have covered up the rape of children by Sandusky, I am sure the NCAA will gladly give him his wins back

How the NCAA determines penalties.

 

[FrancoPizza]

Bond Schoeneck & King. They're actually pretty well-regarded among colleges on, among other things, NCAA matters. But I think SU ended up suing them for malpractice.

Wouldn't surprise me if Stephanie Miner had ties to that firm.

 

[jordoo]

LMAO! It's so ridiculous that I can't even be upset about it.

 

[Jasoncuse]

Remember when UConn got a tourney ban for their APR score?

That stupid metric is completely useless now.

 

[Noexcuse]

So our mistake was that we didn’t help other students write papers? So improper benefits are ok as long as everyone receives them. Got it.

You know, I wonder about this. Seems to me that when I was there advisors (TA's) were available to help the general student population with academic issues including term paper assistance and study groups.

 

[HOFCeluck]

So I guess this just means UNC didn't break NCAA rules. They're just a clown college.

And I bet a lot of UNC fans are perfectly fine with that because their basketball team wins a lot of games.

 

[HOFCeluck]

Syracusefan meltdown imminent.

Just listen to Iommi and your rage will be somewhat mitigated this time tomorrow.

Hey there's my horn. Toot toot!

SEC commish Greg Sankey is the spokesman for the NCAA Committee on Infractions.

Sankey: The panel's ability to determine if academic fraud is limited by the policy that defers to the members schools.

Sankey saying that UNC athletes likely received fraudulent academic credit used to maintain eligibility, but NCAA doesn't have jurisdiction.

Sankey: The panel is in no way supporting what happened. What happened is troubling. The panel applied the bylaws.

Sankey on difference between charges and ruling: The committee is independent (from enforcement). . Infractions has a different role to fill

Sankey on what percentage of athletes would have made it a violation: Declines to discuss hypotheticals.

[MiniCuse]

The NCAA created "student-athletes" to make enormous amounts of money. I guess now they're taking "student" out of it to continue making enormous amounts of money. What a complete crock. Burn it down.

 

[UnknownOrange]

SU's biggest mistake was having the basketball staff get involved.

But spare me if anyone believes UNC's staff didn't know. But it's not what you know... it's what you can prove.

 

[reedny]

I did not see this coming at all. No way the COI can hoist SU up on the gallows with 100+ vacated games for academic assistance and give UNC a free pass with any integrity. I mean, Stinky or Skankey or whatever his name is .. he's dirty. No doubt. Half his conference schools are doing the fake class thing ... pseudo school or no school. So maybe that's the basis for it ... avoiding the upheaval to the college system. Why on earth charge all these major violations and then turn your back on jurisdiction ... bizarre.

[cuseattle]

What a bunch of bull.

 

[JKinPhilly]

It's simple - any student could register for the UNC bogus classes and get credit for nothing. No wrongdoing.

Any student on the Louisville campus can call a hooker - no extra benefit so no wrongdoing.

An athletic tutor writes a paper for Fab Melo - if they had gone to a tutor the entire student body uses then no extra benefit.

 

[doc05]

What a joke of an organization. Can't wait for it be eradicated in a few years.

 

[SUintheVille]

Great recruiting tool. Come to UNC where fluff and fake are our 2 favorite effff words.
