True. But I don't think a lot of them notice the difference. They're not smart enough.Originally posted by timo0402:

Thats not fair...I asked a UNC fan the other day if he knew what "irony" meant...he said "yeah...its like when something is made of metal...you know its all irony."
correct me if i am wrong, but the true irony seems to be that the ncaa lacks the ability to impose academic sanctions.Originally posted by Laettner:
UNC fans truly crack me up. We honor Dean & they have a problem with that. Dean was all class, seems that has not carried on to current Heel fans. Keep thinking your better than everyone else UNC & enjoy the NCAA academic sanctions.
The NCAA makes up its own rules as it sees fit. See: Penn St.Originally posted by tilador:

Tilador, I certainly have no issue with you personally. I just happen to know quite a few Heel grads who are quick to demonize K for cursing, 'Cuse for their self-imposed ban & FSU/Miami for being criminals but when the conversation turns to UNC they immediately state the investigation is a witch hunt. Funniest part is, they in no way see the hypocrisy.Originally posted by tilador:

penn st doesn't really apply as there was a direct connection with athletics just not on the field athletics. academic sanctions could be levied by the accrediting organization, scac or something like that, but the ncaa charter i believe specifically limits its ability to tread in academic affairs. would invite a good legal battle and perhaps induce a downward spiral in the ncaa's state of being. not a bad thing, jmho.Originally posted by FearTheBeard:

I don't agree with that approach, but if they want to act with UNC they will. It's like the legal system; if there' s a will, there's a way. Just have to find the grey area that makes it possible.
The Penn St. reference was to show that the NCAA acts as they please; not academics.Originally posted by tilador:
