Sometimes it's hard to read articles about the UNC situation with a straight face, just because the whole thing is such a farce.  The opening paragraph of the one you linked to says everything: "[UNC] could learn this week what action the NCAA will take in response to the school’s [B]nearly 20-year academic scandal involving athletes[/B]."

Objective Observer:  "So...there was an academic scandal...and it lasted almost 20 years?!"
NCAA:  "Uh huh."
Objective Observer: "That's kind of a long time.  Like, a REALLY long time."
NCAA: "Mkay."
Objective Observer: "And this scandal involved athletes?  Ones that maintained eligibility to play basketball and won championships by virtue of their participation in these invalid courses?"
NCAA: "That seems to be the case."
Objective Observer: "Wow, that sounds like exactly the kind of thing the NCAA is supposed to monitor.  You're going to hammer them, right?"
NCAA:  "Uh...lemme get back to you"
