They did get lucky. But I've also said from the very beginning the odds of them getting in trouble are slim to none. I knew the NCAA wasn't going to come down on them yet everybody thought I was stupid for believing that.

 

I can't speak for everyone else, but I didn't think you were stupid. We just didn't think the NCAA could be this stupid with so much evidence against UNC.

 

If I was any school moving forward, I don't think I'd ever self-sanction. Why would you now?

We believed they'd be punished because of the overwhelming evidence they cheated.

 

I think it was more of a "hope" they'd get in trouble

No clue. Self sanctions basically say that you are guilty and that's when the NCAA hits you. I've never been a fan of self imposing sanctions.

Can anyone honestly explain to me how it's possible nothing came of this?

While some "hope" may have existed, let's not pretend it wasn't widely accepted nationwide that the hammer was coming for UNC. It was an overshadowing theme of this year's team.

I truly believe it did not happen because they would of had to vacate a championship and we all know that is not happening, why no punishement for Roy is my question? and loss of scholarships at least?

I never thought UNC would get hit with anything, simply because they are UNC & the NCAA won't touch them. That says more about the NCAA than anything else.

 

This was systematic academic fraud that went on for many, many years. If the NCAA doesn't punish that, they shouldn't punish anything.

 

There are no telling how many students/athletes from different Colleges have used these NC credits to gain eligibility. These classes were known about for years from lots of people.

Because Roy was never mentioned? And how are you gonna take scholly's if you are implying (which the NCAA is doing here) that men's basketball is clear and not mentioned in the allegations? Can't punish them for something they technically didn't do according to the NCAA.

Because the NCAA isn't going to bring down the house on a top program. Would have been the same outcome if it were KU, UK or Duke.

That's not a real answer. Anything else? So any top program can get away with anything? Louisville fans will be excited to here that news.

Then keep looking because you're never going to find one.

UNC Sent New Notice of Academic Fraud Allegations by NCAA | Bleacher Report Maybe that's what you're looking for

It's really simple. Little schools that make mistakes or blatantly cheat often get backed into a corner and self impose some type of penalty to 'take the edge off the NCAA' punishment. UNC knew they had the backing of ESPN and their soap box and chose to thumb their nose at the NCAA and dare them to attack the mens basketball program. If the NCAA has any guts at all, they'd treat UNC the same way they'd treat SMU, Memphis, Cleveland State or Fresno.
