October 13, 20178 yr The NCAA is so mad at North Carolina, they'll give Louisville two more years probation.
October 13, 20178 yr Stop it right there. There were several who went elsewhere, most notably Brandon Ingram who said he was ready to commit to Carolina until the news they were under investigation broke. To think they weren’t/aren’t recruiting those guys is asinine. Ok so they aren't very good at recruiting those guys. Same difference, they still don't commit.
October 14, 20178 yr Ok so they aren't very good at recruiting those guys. Same difference, they still don't commit. Stick to football.
October 14, 20178 yr Stick to football. I'll do my best, but when you have the biggest corruption scandal in the history of amateur athletics it is kind of hard to keep quiet.
October 14, 20178 yr Mark your calendars--Today is the beginning of the death of the NCAA as a ruling body in college athletics!! The Power "however many" will soon withdraw, band together and create their own governing body; and hopefully bring some common sense to collegiate athletics.
October 14, 20178 yr I do not want to see one more list from the NCAA on graduation rates and GPA's ever again. How can they hold schools responsible for graduation rates when they let this sham go on.
October 14, 20178 yr I tried to tell my UK fan buddies that nothing would come of this; and not just because it's North Carolina.
October 14, 20178 yr Where the NCAA missed was they took the wrong route in their conclusions. Instead, they should have said, “Your defense has some legal merit in that other students beside athletes were taking the paper courses and the NCAA does not have authority on what constitutes a grade or course credit. However, this body is still going to penalize you because you have broken the spirit of the law of what the NCAA wants to emphasis in the seriousness and integrity of class credits and course structure.” Im not a lawyer, so my wording is not in lawyer leagal jargon, but in my opinion the NCAA could have still hammered UNC for this sham. It’s almost as if they were struggling to find a loophole so they wouldn’t have to penalize a blue blood school and possibly have to address taking down banners and other problems. Almost 20 years of sham classes!! I won’t say “fake classes” because they were actual classes. A better word would be ‘sham classes’. The NCAA should have told UNC, “You knew exactly what you were doing and you know that we know the same.”

October 14, 20178 yr the NCAA does not have authority on what constitutes a grade or course credit. Unless it's a high school grade or course.
