As much as I think I'd like to see UNC and their basketball program in shambles, the fact is, I don't want that to happen. As much as I hate them, they make Duke, the ACC, and college basketball better for the competition and rivalry. Remember the late 90s/ early 2000s? It was boring, honestly (well except for beating Maryland all FOUR times in the 2000-01 season). Duke was hugely successful but without its counterpart in the ACC.
I've also always prided our rivalry on being one of the best in all of sports and most of all, two great programs that are respectable and don't cheat. I'm afraid that is tainted now and it won't make the rivalry as special. Duke and UNC are the heart of the ACC and for one of the schools to be involved in such a scandal is devastating.
I want UNC to get crushed by Duke on the basketball court, not by some academic scandal. I want to talk trash to fans about Austin Rivers hitting the dagger, not trash about their cheating. It's gone beyond the rivalry point now. I thought I would enjoy this but I'm actually sad.
To end on a brighter note, perhaps that carowhina author, Andy Douche-Bagwell will write another book called, UNC Sucks.
