July 1, 201412 yr [h=5]NCAA Reopens UNC Academic Fraud Investigation[/h] Andrea Adelson discusses the NCAA's decision to reopen its investigation into academic fraud allegations against North Carolina. The NCAA has reopened its investigation into the academic scandal that has rocked North Carolina over the past three years. "The University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, was cited by the Division I Committee on Infractions in 2012 for violations in its athletics program, including academic misconduct," the NCAA said in a statement. "As with any case, the NCAA enforcement staff makes clear it will revisit the matter if additional information becomes available. After determining that additional people with information and others who were previously uncooperative might be willing to speak with the enforcement staff, the NCAA has reopened its investigation. "The enforcement staff is exploring this new information to ensure an exhaustive investigation is conducted based on all available information. The NCAA will not comment further to protect the integrity of the investigation." NCAA reopens investigation into academic scandal at North Carolina - ESPN
July 1, 201412 yr From the Charlotte paper.... To others, though, NCAA's reopening of the case comes with the question of why it took this long. Jay Smith, a UNC history professor who has been an outspoken critic of the university's response to its academic and athletic problems, wrote in an email that "embarrassment was the main motivator" for the NCAA. "They stopped ignoring the UNC case because they couldn't get away with it anymore," Smith wrote.
July 1, 201412 yr I'd also heard that the professor for the no show classes is now willing to talk to investigators...in exchange for exemption from prosecution. Many believe he will assume all the blame and be the fall guy for UNC. Love to see ol Roy on the hot seat though..... The Dean Dome may need to be re-named.
July 1, 201412 yr Word is out that the whistleblower, Mary Willingham, has filed a civil suit against UNC for discrimination. She claims she was demoted and targeted for campaigning for reform within UNC athletics.
July 1, 201412 yr Author Best news I've heard in a long time. I thought of you when I posted this....:lol2:
July 1, 201412 yr I heard the NCAA verbally informed UNC about reopening the case instead of sending a written notice...I guess they figure nobody could read in Chapel Hill.
