Does anyone else find it interesting when Andrew Jones put up a post about the pending COI results there were no responses,but numerous responses about the Addidas controversy which concludes that Duke and the NCAA are in worlds of trouble
Crazy ain't it? Tarhole Nation is so desperate for Duke to get dirtied up in this that they're ignoring the on-going ( 7 years an' countin' ) NCAA issues currently plaguing the "public ivy." Another thing. Blazer an' Hawkins are both all cozied up with unx from jump but DUKE is gonna get nailed?! Hey , who knows where this thing could end up but we're right here at the get-go an' skeletons from unx's past are , clearly , alive an' well. Heck , even WOODALL is a unx alum...
Prosecutor: North Carolina’s investigation of Marty Blazer still active
North Carolina investigators had an inkling two years ago that the feds were nosing around a financial adviser tangled up in their UNC-Chapel Hill athlete tampering case, but it wasn’t until late spring 2016 that they began talking jointly about Marty Blazer, a state prosecutor said.
By then, the federal investigation that rocked college sports last week with indictments against assistant men’s basketball coaches at four major universities and a shoe company executive was well on its way, Orange County District Attorney Jim Woodall said. Blazer is the key informant in the federal case, numerous media reports say.
“We have been sort of watching and expecting something to happen with him,” Woodall said of Blazer, the founder and owner of an investment advising firm out of Pittsburgh.
As the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Southern District of New York and FBI agents push further in their investigation into payoffs to coaches and athletes, state officials continue their case that spun from the perks agents and their runners gave to some of UNC’s top football players roughly eight years ago. Blazer’s name began popping up in late 2010 in the NCAA’s investigation, and he hasn’t gotten clear of the state case.
“We still have an active investigation and that there are potential state charges that he could be charged with,” Woodall said. “But I would say in relation to that we would certainly reach out to the federal authorities and make sure that we weren’t doing anything that could have an adverse effect on their investigation.”
Documents in the state’s case allege Chris Hawkins, a former UNC cornerback kicked off the team in 2004, gave former Tar Heels defensive end Robert Quinn $13,700 in cash to persuade him to sign with Blazer and an NFL agent.
Hawkins is also accused of helping Quinn sell game-used equipment for $1,700. Hawkins is one of five people charged in the state’s investigation. Three have admitted being involved in making payoffs, while Hawkins and another defendant are awaiting trial. In 2010, UNC officials reported Hawkins “may have included Martin Blazer in some contacts with football players.”

Roy Williams has 'amnesia' when it comes to college basketball's seedy underworld
Or, as Piggie put it on Tuesday when he heard of Williams’ quotes:
“Well, that’s [expletive],” Piggie told Yahoo Sports. “I mean, come on. Come on. You know Roy knew. He was in the mix. He knew what was going on. Roy’s got amnesia.”
Kansas was never cited for wrongdoing in ensuing NCAA cases, but the Jayhawks, just up the road in Lawrence, recruited a number of the players and had direct ties to the program through Grant. JaRon Rush was verbally committed to the program for a stretch, and Piggie noted that Williams recruited players directly through him.
Piggie said he doesn’t know how any coach could claim ignorance as to how the system works because the system has been the system for more than a generation. After all, JaRon Rush’s son, Shea, is currently playing for Williams as a walk-on at UNC.
As for Williams, Piggie said if he doesn’t know now, it’s because he forgot.
“Roy knew what was happening,” Piggie said. “In 1997, 1998, 1999, he knew what was happening because he was in the middle of it. These college coaches … come on.”

Orr , unx alum & , generally speaking , a non-Kool-Aid drinker , asks the question he already knows the answer to...
Were UNC’s bogus classes merely easy, or completely illegitimate?
The tough question lingering out there in the UNC situation is whether the hundreds of courses at issue were not just easy – but whether they were legitimate college level courses that would merit accreditation by the agency tasked with certifying and accrediting a school and its academic offerings?
Whatever the outcome with the NCAA and the pending litigation, UNC and all universities have both a moral and legal obligation to “student-athletes” to offer them legitimate college level courses in exchange for their efforts making money for the universities’ athletic programs. The fact that schools apparently don’t guarantee that is the real scandal of our time.

Yea I don't see much either, and then we have to hear their smug asses say we told you so.
If men's basketball gets by with a slap on the wrist and Woman's basketball gets hammered,I am wondering how Slyvis Hatchell will react.She has never struck me as a just take it type of person.Wonder if she would start a shit storm on her own claiming that the AFAM sure as hell wasnt created for women's basketball
Absolutely. No doubt. unx tried once to stick her with this but under-estimated the support she has. If her progam’s hit , she’s already been compensated nicely to to absorb it and go away quietly. #carolinaway
UNC academic scandal makes a mockery of the NCAA. North Carolina should be punished
The NCAA had announced plans to release the results of its investigation on Friday, but “scheduling problems” led the organization to postpone. UNC was scheduled to announce a multi-billion dollar fundraising campaign on Friday. Apparently, the NCAA didn’t want to spoil the party.
The NCAA’s response will reveal a lot about how it punishes schools that make a mockery of the organization’s stated goal that college athletes should be considered students first.
UNC is the poster child for bad behavior...
Anyone who cares about the academic mission of such an elite university as UNC would have reacted with embarrassment and disgust...But school officials repeatedly tried to minimize the wrongdoing...And the university loaded up with high-priced attorneys and public relations specialists
The university that for so long had talked about the “Carolina Way” — which included competing in sports with honor and integrity — discovered it was, in large part, a self-serving myth.
With its reputation in tatters, the school should have acted swiftly and sternly to punish its sports teams and coaches. Its refusal to do so means the NCAA is the only remaining hope of making UNC pay the price for nearly 20 years of wrongdoing

Sizeable chunk of unx's fund-raising drive goin' to keep and attract academic talent. Hmmm. Let's see. Why would unx even NEED to do such a thing? It's not like the "public ivy" has shown the entire world that "academics" are secondary to "athletics" or been put on probation by their academic accreditation agency or anything like that , right?
UNC plans $20 million initiative to attract – and keep – faculty members
UNC-Chapel Hill has announced a new initiative to attract and keep the best faculty, using a $10 million donation, along with plans to raise another $10 million.
The gift, from alumnus and former trustee John Ellison Jr. of Greensboro, was announced over the weekend as part of the university’s launch of a $4.25 billion fundraising campaign.

10/10 Letters: UNC fundraiser would just ‘line attorneys’ pockets’
Regarding “New UNC fundraising drive aims high: $4.25B” (Oct. 7): Why in the world would anyone want to contribute to UNC when its administration has spent and continues to needlessly spend tens of millions of dollars on attorney fees defending the school in the fake classroom scandal? From all legitimate investigations, the university is clearly at fault. Instead of wasting more money, it should negotiate a quick settlement and move on.
As long as this case continues, UNC fundraising contributions will not be going to support student scholarships, but instead to line the pockets of attorneys, some of whom are already enriched by the universities’ stubborn refusal to settle.

Toeing the company line OH SO CAREFULLY!!! He wants to hold on to Skipper's paycheck as long as he can!!! OFC
Posted this on national board.When scholarships are lost say two per year for three years.After three years can you have only seven scholarship players that year.
I'm not certain, but I think 2 per year means 2 total lost in each season. So for basketball where you have something like 13 total, then for 3 years the total would be reduced to 11 each year.
I just wanted to bump this up so we will never forget that unc cheated and got away with. OFC
Sky it's really disgusting when I think about my relatives who are basketball fans in other states and just because I live in North Carolina they assume UNCheats represents everyone in North Carolina. Just like some think all fans who live in Kentucky are UK fans. I am embarrassed that UNCheat is a college from North Carolina.
