UNC Charlotte, not UNC CHeat.
The ‘UNC’ is harming the Charlotte brand.
Everything in a nutshell.
Chizik has not been found guilty of any of the charges levied against him. But sweet sassy molassy, there have been a lot of charges levied against him. Chizik and his staff have been accused of paying players not to enter the NFL draft, improper recruiting, and — the icing on the tainted cake — fudging grades to keep players academically eligible.
I loved the comment that Roy Williams should be allowed to learn from his mistakes. Typical tarhole fan.

we will use this as a reference when the NCAA comes down hard on Chapel Hill. :
WSU’s level of violations were categorized as Level II (significant breach of conduct) and Level III (breach of conduct). Level I (severe breach of conduct) is the highest level. Level IV (incidental issues) is the least serious. Level II is defined as a “failure to monitor” and “systemic violations that do not rise to the level of institutional control.” Level III violations are defined as “isolated or limited in nature.”

Good article. Since they share articles, I wonder if the Charlotte Observer will pick it up and publish it.

NCAA president Mark Emmert would not speculate on whether the enforcement department would go past its four-year statute of limitations to investigate the alleged wrongdoing that goes back almost two decades.
