Just read that Sean May was added to the Carolina staff... I'm sure all you can eat buffets are closing down all around chapel hill with him and Meeks around
Carolina's new addition
- Thread starter 5timestheking
- Start date
Nice to see him putting his AFAM major to good use!
Haha ok I just looked over there... I have a feeling we will get a lot of new quotes for our THR thread from this. Already some doosies over there. I think May was a good player for them but honestly has their ever been another player that literally ate himself out of the NBA??
Keep in mind , this is from 2010 BEFORE the scandal was exposed...
That's my major, too
North Carolina, which has the most Final Four appearances and players during the time measured, had the fourth-highest graduation rate of its Final Four players -- 79 percent.
But the university's graduates -- and most notably its 2005 NCAA championship team -- raise questions about "clustering."
Simply put, clustering is when a high percentage of teammates receive the same degree. Among North Carolina's graduates, communications and Afro-American and African studies stand out as the majors of choice.
From the 2005 team, all seven Tar Heels who graduated had the same major -- Afro-American and African studies.
That includes Sean May of the Sacramento Kings, the Bloomington prep star and son of former IU star Scott May. Sean May entered the NBA after three years in college, capped by an NCAA title in 2005. He graduated last summer.
May said he started as a double major with communications, but dropped it so he could graduate faster after leaving for the NBA.
Afro-American and African studies, May said, offered "more independent electives, independent study. I could take a lot of classes during the season. Communications, I had to be there in the actual classroom. We just made sure all the classes I had to take, I could take during the summer."
Otto, the head of the Drake Group, said her concern with clustering is that it raises questions about whether athletes are being directed to a path of least academic resistance.
"I'm fascinated at the longevity of North Carolina's clustering," Otto said. "It's unbelievable." Lennon of the NCAA declined to comment, saying it's a campus issue.
John Blanchard, senior associate athletic director at North Carolina, said it's reasonable that people in a peer group might gravitate to the same major. He said clustering "just doesn't bother us here."
"The question is whether they are getting a good education," he said, "and the answer is a resounding yes."

I can see many times when Meeks and May will be seen at McDonalds and Wendy's doing some coach and player one on one.
Sean May? Player development? Kinda like hiring a lying hypocrite to direct an Ethics center. Oh wait...
I see this as one of the biggest if not the biggest hire UNC has ever had. big news in Chapel Hill. OFC
The press release was simply this picture:
I think he is going to be their nutrition coach. OFC
I agree with the guys on Pack Pride.. This is a move to keep him hush hush regarding the scandal.
They better open a few more staff positions, because I'm sure there are others that will speak up if not given a job.

Re: Cheater Continuing Saga (strongly recommend page 2)
So unc brings back these guys who participated in the scam, like Sean May and Eric Hoots, into the basketball program in player development and academics capacity. Mr. Hoots is the former student manager who is now Assistant to the AD and Director of Player Development, including coordinating academics (the new Wayne Walden?) and unc announced May as the Assistant to the Director of Player Development--Hoots's assistant.
Both guys were Comm-AFAM majors at the same time. May switched from Comm to AFAM for the phony IS so he could skate, and he returned to finish his "degree" in 2009 (before the Crowder clock ran out). unc listed Mr. Hoots in the annual media guides as a Comm-AFAM double major all the way through his time at unc and even after his graduation. Only in his most recent online bio, he has dropped the AFAM "degree" from his resume.
The triple-dawg-dare arrogance really is astounding. I guess once you decide to cheat you might as well go all the way, like Lance Armstrong...

Thanks for sharing. Is Blanchard still on the payroll at UNC? I would guess no considering how totally wrong he was about whether AFAM majors were getting a good education.
People questioning...

Rashad is too busy with his rap career and trying to take down Carolina with his sis
Despite claims to the contrary , unx continually refuses to clean house. Awarding some with golden parachutes and pay-off money ain't "cleaning house." Lisa Broome was re-upped. unx allowed both Kevin Guskiewicz and Laurie Maffly-Kipp to be candidates for the position as new Dean of the College of A & S. All 3 are neck-deep in the scandal. They hired Gene Chizik. unx is basically flipping off the entire world. It's a cesspool and an arrogant cesspool at that. Hope they fry. And I hope no one holds their breath waitin' on Seannie Bag-O-Donuts to flash his transcript. Ain't happenin.'
