March 29, 20179 yr The Telegraph | NOBODY’S BUSINESS? Tate: Tar Heels humming along without NCAA consequences North Carolina deserves the NCAA basketball championship. Any institution that wants the title so badly that it would carry out 18 years of the worst academic fraud in NCAA history, and then spend millions to out-lawyer the NCAA governing body by delaying penalties for years, has earned it. In a world built on honesty and fairness, the Tar Heels shouldn’t have been playing Villanova’s champions to the wire a year ago. Fake classes were in full swing when Rashad McCants, Sean May and the Tar Heels defeated Illinois 75-70 in the 2005 title game, McCants making the Dean’s List that year with sham classes and term papers written by tutors. The school ultimately conceded that roughly 2,000 student-athletes received phony grades as a means of keeping them eligible … an underground fact that for years attracted many more budding super-stars to the campus. We can wring our hands about illegal financial benefits for athletes and families, and we know these activities are widespread, but nothing keeps the athletes coming like the inside word that they’ll receive A’s without studying or even attending class.
March 29, 20179 yr Author UNC has spent $18 Million on Legal Expenses fighting and delaying any action from the NCAA. If they win two more games it may look like money well spent. Even in the rare case that they could lose a past title or two at least they would have a shiny new trophy to put in their showcase.
March 30, 20179 yr If Carolina wins the NC, I win about $250 in the NCAA office bracket pool. So what if they have blatantly cheated for 15 years! If I win $250, it's all worth it;)
