North Carolina got off cheating, because it's a hoops blueblood. IF NC State did that, it would not have been pretty for them.
Coastal Carolina better straighten up and fly right

Iowa Breweries doing good work....

Big Grove Brewery of Iowa City won a bronze medal in the German-style Marzen beer competition for its Oktoberfest. 142 beers were entered in the category. It is the brewery's first GABF medal.
You didn't need a bunch of Sud Snobs at the GABF to tell you that.Hell send all their efforts to my zip code and theyll win alot more awards than that.We are talking Inter Galatic Accolades and Yuenglings all around

Absolutely-- North Carolina had multiple degrees' worth of crip classes for basketball, they had an entire program of "tutors" that did all the players' homework and even took tests for them.  I'd be pretty shocked if their football players aren't enrolling in those as well. 

Of all schools, they've proven they're PLENTY happy to cheat to excel in sports.
I was kidding obviously.

But, UNC does walk around pretending to be an academic school along the lines of Duke, I'm not kidding, or they did when I was there.

Now, it's a pretty good public by most metrics, but it isn't Duke.  They had a big inferiority problem there.

Now, Georgia at times tries to pretend it's on the level of Tech, sort of, but mostly they just say scoreboard when some Technie trumpets their akademicals.

I find it all rather amusing.  I suspect Michigan parades this out after OSU schools them in football.  "Yeah, but in four years I'll be your boss."

Yeah, Longhorns say similar things whilst losing to "inferior academic schools" on the playing field.

Love High School football, especially the Texas variety, but just about every week ESPN2 broadcasts one of Arch Manning's games. 15 year old quarterback nephew of Peyton & Eli. When not on field, the cameras follow around Arch on the sidelines like it's the Osbournes Reality show, with the announcers incessantly reminding viewers this is the anointed nephew of Peyton and Eli. Even Arch seems put off with the attention. Yes, they'll be good storylines as to where Arch eventually signs (LSU? Tennessee?) but for now he's only a sophomore. It's a good example of how 20 years ago ESPN's network strategy was to expose the viewer to as much of the sports landscape as possible. I remember watching a lot of NHL and XGames in high school, and now their strategy appears to be directing and cultivating the endless headlines of select few ascendant stars - Lebron, Steph, Brady, Mahomes, etc. Arch, at 15, is the youngest subject to come under this attempt of finding and building up the next athlete to worship.

I like local high school football.  Not so much these all start televised games.  I generally watch Pittsburgh cable's broadcast of the WPIAL game of the week though, and I enjoy going to games.
