North Carolina Academic Scandal Update - Jan 2015

[JDEaston]

 

Probably.

 

But remember, we're talking 18 years' worth.

 

What difference does it make? It's still 18 years of cheating no matter how you look at it.

That's a pretty big deal.. Again though, the NCAA will do nothing about it.

[coldweatherfan]

Nothing to see here ...Move right on...

 

That's exactly what the NCAA said the first time.

 

 

 

 

Not sure what you mean by this. It's not like this hasn't gotten a lot of coverage.

 

Everybody needs to remember, UNC was already investigated once by the NCAA and little or nothing was done.

[MJAlltheWay24]

Exactly, the entire athletic program would be crippled or disbanded if the NCAA puts their foot down.. That said, they will not.

 

I'd even argue that the school should potentially lose their accreditation, which I doubt would ever happen. But it makes you wonder, what would a University have to do to lose that, if this wasn't something that would cause it.

[The Professor]

You can bet your last dollar that if this scandal had happened at a smaller, more insignificant university that something drastic would already been done.

This is about as bad as it gets in school infractions. Fake classes. Fake grades. The McCanns kid that played guard on one of their championship teams recently said in an interview that he made the Dean's List at UNC one semester and didn't attend a single class.

 

If I were the officials at SMU I would be suing the NCAA for a billion dollars if that organization fails to bring the hammer down on the Tar Heels. They gave the Mustangs the Death Penalty in the 1980s and set their program back so far that it still hasn't recovered.

[ColonelCrazy]

Has the NCAA publicly released anything about this? Have they even formally reopened its investigation?

I believe they are "looking into it." Maybe they are waiting on the media outlets to do all of the work for them, I dunno?

[BengalBob]

What you are likely going to hear from the NCAA, in my humble opinion, is that this is an ACADEMIC issue and not within the realm or scope of NCAA enforcement. Since the infraction involved students across the board, they will say it was not an athletics dept. issue (hahahahahahaha). That's their easy way out and the most likely scenario as I see it. I base this solely on their history of avoiding conflicts with Sacred Cow programs and their penchant for playing favorites.

[Jumper_Dad]

If it is an across the board issue then wouldn't that fall under Institutional Control?

[FanofMany33]

If the NCAA digs deeper into UK history, more could possibly come out of this article. Carolina is not the first school to offer sack courses to athletes.

For you and I that would be correct. And remember this is only my opinion. But to the NCAA I believe when they refer to Institutional Control they are referring strictly to the Athletics Dept. and not to control of the University in general. When you think about it, the NCAA truly has no authority over anything outside the athletics realm anyway, so if they deem this as not being an issue instigated by an athletics dept., what authority do they have? I'm just trying to think like they appear to think.

Uh, this was TWENTY FIVE years ago and not involving classroom fraud. There was an NCAA sanction imposed and action by the University. It's okay to let it go now . . .

Wouldn't open for me. I'm not a member. Can you give a synopsis?
