As expected.  NCAA proves they are worthless.

If I am understanding this correctly, North Carolina successfully proved that the sham classes were not JUST for athletes, but were attended by plenty of other students who didn't want to do actual work.  Therefore, it was not an impermissible benefit.  Essentially "Yeah, we knew the degree was pure BS, but it was BS for everybody, not just athletes."  They sacrificed their academic integrity to save the sports program.

If there is justice in this world, the governing body for academics licensure in North Carolina would pull their accreditation.  

I actually really feel sorry for anyone who got a degree in that field and actually worked hard to get it.  It's about as worthless as toilet paper right now.

Baylor won't get hit by sanctions because the NCAA will determine that the school was actually cool with any student committing rape, not just athletes.   :57:

Great message, "We don't care what your student-athletes do, as long as the rest of the students can do it, too."

I'm getting more and more upset about this.

I say OSU should hang it's "tattoo-gate" banners back up and restore their wins. I mean if the NCAA doesn't have the authority to punish a school for academic fraud, then it sure as hell doesn't have the right to punish for discounted tattoos. :sign0065:


I was a student at OSU, I got a discount for my tattoo. OSU is free and clear right? (When I got inked I was told each one would cost $100, but if I did them together they would do both for 150. winner winner chicken dinner.)

I think this is more about how the regulations were written than anything else.  

And I think it's an embarrassment to UNC academics more than sanctions to their athletics would have been.  I'm sure they claim to have fixed whatever.

And I am an alumnus of that school, though it matters not any more.

All right, now Jay Bilas is saying the "exact same thing" happened at M*ch*g*n 8 years ago, and no sanctions (or investigations) were brought against the wolverines, why should they brought against UNC?!?!

Maybe I'm getting old, cause I'm not remembering, UofM you directed your entire basketball team towards academic fraud?
Pretty sure if the Skunkweasles would have done some similar to UNC I would have been all over that. (especially since the shady sh!t OSU did was 7 years ago.)

I heard all Florida State students get a free pair of shoes when they enroll.

Anybody who thought that the hyper-PC NCAA was going to sanction a school over weak academics in the school's black studies department was nuts to begin with.

NCAA too busy trying to keep black people from getting money to worry about whether students are learning about black people.

I actually think this a new form of punishment when the NCAA doesn't believe it can win. That is to say keeping a cloud over them for 7 years was not a free pass. A quick decision and 2 years probation would have been much less painful, imo. 

This was a never-ending humiliation for a mostly quality school.
