Also, supposedly, the NCAA is sitting on a hugely damaging disclosure that hasnt been made public yet. Per a source that has been very trustworthy to date.[/quote]
clt says this is becoming comical. Non qualified tutors assisting with athletes who cannot pass fake classes.[/quote]
Fake tutors for Fake classes? Did they use Fake money to pay for those Fake tutors, or did some real money disappear?[/quote]
In their defense, does it take a degree to teach a child to read and write?

Remember, we are currently serving an APR penalty. Meanwhile, CHeat has been regularly accepting awards for their APR excellence, which included fake classes:

I could not help but notice they were bragging on the academic accomplishments of one or two of the tarhole players on TV last night. Nothing was mentioned about the fake classes.

Yep. Just like in 2012, while their football team was on probation from participating in post-season play they purchased the team “Coastal Division Champions” rings, and put up billboards announcing this. Georgia Tech actually was the Division Champion and went on to play FSU in the ACC Championship game. The Heels–we now know they follow neither the letter nor the spirit of the rules–diluted the prestige and value of GT’s accomplishment because they just must get a trophy no matter the cost. Sportsmanship is dead in Chapel Hill.

Wow… I had forgotten about that.
Too bad their wasn’t someone in a position of authority who could have put a stop to such nonsense, like some sort of university leader with good sense…
Like a chancellor. Of course they didn’t have a chancellor they just had a sniveling toady who was kowtowing to the AD there.
What a piece of shit that place is.
Chapel Hill. The place where morals and ethics go to die.
Could the Chapel Hill scandal help in the collapse of the NCAA? The NCAA now says that they are not legally responsible to ensure that Universities are providing a proper education to student athletes. What exactly is the purpose of the NCAA besides make money?

http://www.cnn.com/2015/04/01/sport/ncaa-response-to-lawsuit/index.html[/quote] When lawyers are involved, crazy statements are made. The NCAA seems, in this case, to be passing the buck to Chapel Hill. What they are saying is that they can’t be expected to oversee the day to day operations of UNC-CH and that Chapel Hill is exclusively responsible for the wrong doing. The NCAA’s function should be to encourage member institutions, including the cash cows, to operate clean programs. Of course, that would involve sanctioning those who step over the line. We all know how that is going.
How is this different than what Syracuse just got in trouble? I guess I do not understand the difference except that this is probably the biggest case of players playing that were not eligible in the history of the NCAA.
To make matters worse, I know 2 tarhole fans that are finally admitting the holes are guilty, but they are also bragging that they will never be punished. Neither one of these fans went to school in chapel hill. No surprise there.

clt anticipates these fans wearing Kentucky gear soon. Massive academic fraud will not be overlooked.

To make things worse I know Charlotte alumni with the same mentality.

Syracuse had some serious academic transgressions, but I think this pales in comparison to what UNCheat was doing. There were athletic department members directly involved in putting athletes into these classes, with the knowledge that the classes weren’t real. This is far and away the worst academic/athletic scandal that has ever happened at an NCAA institution. Other past scandals had issues with boosters and money, but never this level of malfeasance related to academic integrity.
If the NCAA doesn’t come down hard, then every athlete who is ever denied eligibility due to academic issues should immediately sue the NCAA for tons of money. They probably should do that anyway given how pathetic their investigation into this scandal has been so far. I don’t have a lot of faith that the NCAA will give an appropriate punishment, but they should get the death penalty for at least a year, if not longer, in addition to scholarship reductions in both football and basketball (and maybe some of the other sports too) for a long enough period to make everyone else think twice about trying to pull this off again.

That was also going on with the free rental car and cell phone that were given to players at UNC CHeat.
