"The education would be awesome if you planned on staying but Knox isn't . I don't get it really. The kids that transfer say they were lied to. What do the kids that transfer from UK say? I've never seen where any of them say Cal lied to them. One reason I've warmed on Cal over the years. There's bigger slime balls coaching college ball than Cal out there. At least he seems to care about the kids."
Amazing how Holes and kitty kats all know exactly what was said and that K lies to kids but of course Cal is soooo sweet and perfect. Lol.

From Dsouthr regarding Knox
"He is picking duke...He is going to play with a couple of his freshman buddies and maybe on K's very last team."
Hilarious how most of them actually think this Coach K's last year!
"He is picking duke...He is going to play with a couple of his freshman buddies and maybe on K's very last team."

They are simply praying like hell that it is. They will be sorely disappointed.
From the Duke insider TKPFKAS:
"It is a raw deal. If I am good enough to be on the team, I should get in a game. Either the staff sucks at evaluating talent OR they are very loose with the truth! Regardless of what ratty told Goldfinger, I bet Jeter, Obi, Bolden, and the PG I forgot, etc didn't get the run they were promised! A walk on is a walk on-just like UNC who will actually tell a kid he is a walk-on then if the situation warrants it give him an extra scholly. This situation is totally different if he is a scholly athlete in danger of being benched or forced out."
Apparently everyone that is capable should play. To his defense in a game. Which if that's alll it is his point is false right from the gitgo since all of the players he mentioned saw some game action. (aside from the injured Obi who never dressed). But let's say for a min he's suggesting everyone should play- well as cute as that sounds this isn't CYO, YMCA rec league. You play to win. Coaches can certainly make mistakes but just because you "can play" doesn't mean you get to. Next, that "pg he can't remember"- well he got over 25mpg as a freshmen- can't blame not playing for him leaving. Strike two. And this moronic insuatuion that he knows what our coaches tell players that are three stars that they might not play is just ignorant and flat out made up. But of course ole Roy and unc would never do such a thing! Btw, we don't ever use all 13 players, and even in your own ball licking of how he thinks unc handles it, he blatantly says if the situation allows for said player to get a scholarship they will. Johnny ass wipe- we have open schollys, hence he got one.
Tale as old as time, just because you say it, doesn't make it true.

These idiots always say this. Have they ever thought that maybe kids get beat out for positions and sometimes they just aren't ready for that level yet?! Good Lord.
More of the same crap from those stooges. Trying to mentally prepare themselves just in case he actually does go to Duke. Haaaaa.
iwish:
"Obviously we don't know the kid and if he came to UNC we'd be getting a strong talent. But everything out there seems to indicate and confirm he's not "made of the same cloth" as the rest of the UNC players. I'd personally be very happy continuing to root for the JB's, Theo's, Luke Mayes, etc., of the world.....If he does in fact pull that kind of Lebron type announcement off, it'll really just confirm that he's better off elsewhere and good luck to him. Let's continue to trust in Roy, and let Roy manage/coach a team full of heart and desire."

Beginning of a post from one of the Holes. Just found it quite funny. Now that it doesn't look so good for them with Knox they are going with the the usual "don't want him anyways" bull crap. So predictable. Yeah, dude, bet you are just praying to God that he goes anywhere but Holeville. Lollll.
"Assuming we dont get knox. (Which I dont care to have honestly)."
"Assuming we dont get knox. (Which I dont care to have honestly)."
They seem to forget they recruit students with academic questions and then some how keep them eligible for 3-4 years. Wonder how they do that?
Just found out Zion isn't going to play for the best coach in America (Roy) because he REFUSES to get his hands dirty and pay players like the others do... and 4* at some schools get 50,000 to go there from boosters but we are obviously offering Zion more like a million for him to spurn UNC
The mud some of those clowns sling is pretty crazy considering they're being investigated for one of the largest academic fraud scandals in the history of the NCAA. Regardless if they get hammered or not (and I don't think anything of substance will/would ever happen), this whole thing has still exposed them. Their school is no better than any out there and everyone, even them, knows they were cheating....but they're either 1) too dumb, or 2) too blind to see it. There isn't another option.
That's what really makes me laugh though. They constantly come up with these asinine scenarios, theories and play them off as fact to try and demonized our program. And while all of those are completely and utterly fabricated, the morons there eat it up as if it wasn't false. Meanwhile what we do know as complete fact, is they had a decades long academic cheating scandal that was designed to keep athletes eligible without actually having to do any work or go to any class. They made up a freaking major. But by all means, sling away. What was that saying about living in glass houses?
I wonder how this guy even got out of high school. He can't even spell basic words correctly. Happy he chose unc to pull for. OFC

If Anthony Davis cost $200K five years ago, you figure with inflation that WWW had to deliver at least $250K for Knox.
I'm not all that shocked. I've been saying for months it was between Dook and UK.
You're really out of touch if you think Knox committed for $250k. Trubisky just signed for $20 million guaranteed. Lonzo Ball's dad was asking for $1 BILLION for his 3 sons. Top 10 kids aren't going anywhere for $250k.

It's happening big time at Kentucky, Kansas and Arizona. Duke is clean, but limited to certain OADs. I know this for a fact folks. It's legal and the NCAA cannot do anything about it.

This is the most stupid post I think I've ever heard. The arrogance of pointing the accusing finger at other programs as to what if any illegal things they are doing and so much in denial or ignorance in what's happening in chapel hill. To be honest I just don't get it. Would someone please help me here on this so I can possibly understand the point dr. steat is trying to make. Am I in the twilight zone or is dr. steat and the entitled pack in the twilight zone. Somebody's gotta know the answer. OFC

It's like parents who know their kids are on drugs but really think they are not if that makes sense but are critical of the neighbors kids that are on drugs. It's like their kids are doing coke and the neighbors kids are on crack . Really pot is not that bad but that crack. I really believe that they think the academic scandal is ok. No problem there. OFC
thr is blowing up on the Knox social media thread. Let's just this. It's entertaining. Science fiction, twilight zone ,off the wall, you can't make this stuff up, mentally unbalanced and just plain stupid post. carolinablue34 is telling them like it is and they are treating him like they would one of us. It has to be embarrassing to a sensible unc fan to read that stuff. And it boils down to them missing out on another 5 star. thr has to be the worst social media venue around. I'm with a NY Yankee discussion group and I thought some of them eat their cornbread that's not done in the middle but those guys at thr are in another galaxy. OFC

Certainly not the hatchet job done by the N&O, but it reflects how other media outlets simply parrott the narrative of the story:
orlandosentinel.com/sports/florida-state-seminoles/os-sp-bobby-bowden-fsu-wins-mike-bianchi-0514-story.html
I felt compelled to respond and sent an email to the sports writer Mike Bianchi:
Mike-
I’m one of the dinosaurs who still enjoys reading an actual paper newspaper and have been a subscriber to the Sentinel since 1985 when I moved to town. I enjoy your columns and appreciate the difficulty of providing content for which people will pay when so much is free.
As a journalism grad of UNC, class of ’82, I will be the first to admit that I am not unbiased when it comes to the never-ending investigation of Carolina (going on 7 years now). Three publically funded reports and several million taxpayer dollars later and we’ve discovered that Carolina had a portfolio of “slide” classes which rarely required attendance and the composition of which did not reflect the demographics of the overall student body. That the NCAA reacts to this “discovery” in the manner that it has is, at a minimum, humorous but, more accurately, disingenuous.
Not to be an apologist for Carolina, but the classes in question were primarily attended by regular students, not jocks, and were taught by regular profs, not be members of the athletic department. Compare that with the following schools, who all have classes which are limited to athletes and which are taught by the athletic department: Auburn, Iowa, KSU, NCSU, Penn State, Okla, Stanford, SoCal and Nebraska.
One of Nebraska’s courses, ATHP101 (Varsity Football Practice), is particularly ridiculous: It is limited to athletes, taught and graded by the athletic department, requires no course work and provides up to 10 hours of academic credit, all of which satisfy eligibility requirements.
That these sorts of classes exist across the spectrum of big-time college athletics is so commonplace as to be cliché. That the NCAA ignores the foregoing is part of the hypocrisy of big-time college athletics.
The bigger story here is that the NCAA has now gotten themselves into a posture which they don’t know how to get out of. Ordinarily, most NCAA enforcement matters are premised upon whether athletes received “impermissible benefits.” Here, unlike Auburn, Iowa, KSU, NCSU, Penn State, Okla, Stanford, SoCal and Nebraska, Carolina does not offer any classes which are limited to athletes. In fact, the students enrolled in the African American studies classes at issue in the Carolina investigation were predominantly non-athletes. In other words, because the courses were open to and attended by both athletes and non-athletes, by definition, there are no impermissible benefits.
Undeterred by this, the NCAA’s position appears to be that they somehow have jurisdiction to oversee whether college courses meet certain minimum academic criteria and should be accredited for eligibility purposes. Which is as silly as the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (the actual accrediting agency) deciding whether to move the 3 point line. Of course, part of the problem is that the administrator heading up the current process is Greg Sankey, the sitting commissioner of the SEC. Conflict of interest? Of course. But when faced with the request that he recuse himself from participation as a member of the hearing panel, Mr. Sankey has refused.
At the end of the day, if the NCAA does more than slap a wrist, they will unquestionably be sued by Carolina’s attorneys regarding the ever expanding powers they’ve usurped. If that happens, as an attorney with some sports law background, my guess is that the courts will have a far narrower view of the NCAA’s authority than that which they have claimed over the last 20 years.
All that said, as a Carolina alum, I am embarrassed that the university would sanction these sorts of classes, regardless of whether the academic bastions of Auburn, Oklahoma and Nebraska do so. I’m glad Carolina cleaned house, gutting the AA studies department and creating much more rigorous courses. But those are academic issues, not athletic ones, despite the NCAA’s effort to blur the lines. I decided to email you, not because of the premise of your article that FSU, by comparison, received overly harsh punishment for its alleged transgressions. That may be true.
I responded simply because I respect your views but believe that, in this case, like much of the main stream media who don’t have the luxury of the time and resources to fully investigate the circumstances, your article perpetuates an understanding of the NCAA investigation of Carolina which is inaccurate. (BTW, as it relates to the basketball program, after the 3 independent, exhaustive investigations involving thousands of man-hours and millions of dollars, there was not one iota of evidence that men’s basketball received a single impermissible benefit- regardless of the outcome of the overall investigation, no championship banners are at risk of coming down. As an aside, I wonder if any SEC football program could survive that sort of scrutiny…)
Because Scott is also a Carolina journalism alum, I’ve copied him. I’m sure he shares my embarrassment regarding the overall situation.
Regards and keep up the good work.
