I don’t understand why any kid would commit there. The other schools make sense, but not CHeat.[/quote]
Really? For Dorn, his daddy went there. Blood is thicker than infractions.[/quote]
100% of parents in local sports circuit would accept a 4 year free education at UNC. Correction, entire nation.
get real for 2 seconds…I hate them too but come on…[/quote]
I believe the typo in your post is the word ‘education’.[/quote]
nope
the Julius Peppers cheating types are 1% of UNC athletes. 99% of them get a better education and experience than UNCC provides. Its just reality.
again, I hate UNC with passion. But questioning why you would send your kid there for sports is hilarious. You can’t find one parent on local sports scene who buys into that.[/quote]
That 1% thing is a joke, right? Even people I know who were non-revenue athletes at CHeat talk about no-show classes and getting the answers to tests before class, etc.
If you’re trying to argue that UNC-CHeat has a good academic reputation, I don’t think anyone would disagree with you. But if you’re trying to suggest that only 1 out of every 100 athletes slipped through the cracks, then you’re sorely mistaken. There are many athletes who took advantage of their opportunity for a world-class education- it wasn’t 99%. That’s been readily established time and again. The bigger question is whether it’s even a majority, at this point.[/quote]
I deal in reality. Not press clippings. Ive known many athletes the past 20 years at UNC who worked their butt off at UNC, that wanted a good job one day.[/quote]
Apparently you skipped the part where I said that I, too, knew several UNC-CHeat athletes. I also knew a tutor there for the athletes and I worked in NCAA compliance. The reality is that UNC-CHeat offers a top-40 national education, some top-notch athletic facilities, and the opportunity to get an education or ignore an education completely as an athlete.
So I, too, deal in reality, not press clippings. It would also be difficult to deal in press clippings, given the general lack of depth with which they’ve covered the scandal.
