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

I've never understood this position that the NCAA has taken repeatedly.  I 100% get the NCAA's rationale that determining course content is not in their "wheelhouse."  I'm okay accepting that rationale.

But I don't understand how the ostensible governing body of amateur collegiate athletics goes out of their way to intentionally overlook that the utilization of ineligible players is a major, flagrant, blatant problem that is SQUARELY in their jurisdictional "wheelhouse."

Programs are forced to vacate wins, titles, etc. over far less than 17 years of artificially inflated GPAs keeping athletes "eligible" across dozens of sports.

It is completely falling down on the job on the part of the NCAA, no matter what they would like to pretend.  Compared to this, what transpired at the University of Minnesota [which got HAMMERED by the NCAA for what was--at the time--considered to be the biggest academic scandal in college basketball history] is child's play.
