From unc Another Damaging Dodgy Response To NCAA


UNC’s phony-course scandal is one symptom of a deeply compromised system. For nearly two decades, the university maintained a crip “African studies” curriculum whose apparent purpose was to enhance the grade point averages of academically challenged varsity athletes. To charge, as has the NCAA, that bogus courses evaded “institutional control” is comic understatement, as is its weasel-word characterization as “anomalous.”

No UNC administrator since Bill Friday has exercised “institutional control” over the sprawling and autonomous UNC athletic complex. Friday’s successors have instead paid pricey lawyers versed in the defense of monkey business. They have devised the dodgy response that gross irregularity is outside the NCAA’s jurisdiction. But if bogus courses designed to assist underachieving athletes is not NCAA business, what would be? Free whiskey for the ladies’ field hockey teams?

The damage is to the integrity of UNC and disheartening to any and all who value its traditions and honor system.

The victim of this wound is UNC, and it is self-inflicted.

The Shameful Beat Goes On

What follows is a series of gut-level responses to claims made in the first twenty-three pages of UNC’s official “Response to NCAA Amended Notice of Allegations (ANOA)” of August 1, 2016. Readers’ familiarity with the whole backstory of the UNC vs. NCAA contest is taken for granted, and the university’s responses to specific allegations (pp. 24-73 of the report) are left aside (with one exception) because those specific responses all reflect the broader statement of principles articulated in the first twenty-three pages of the report. What prompts this response to the UNC response to the ANOA is the revulsion triggered by the principles on which UNC has decided to rest its case. The institution’s shameful effort to evade responsibility warrants (at least) one more cry of exasperation, laid out here in ten points.....

Here’s More Evidence That Not All College Sports Are Created Equal


1*f8WxBFOmmlwFL-xZzCTgdg.jpeg



Every school year brings with it a seemingly endless list of eye-popping violations committed by Division I college sports teams...the ongoing investigations into whether the University of North Carolina straight-up fabricated some of its athletes’ classes.

But, Jordan concedes, a penalty is far less devastating for the bottom line of a school like UNC than for, say, that of Ball State University. “Conference membership doesn’t for the most part change the penalty structure. So bigger schools don’t [generally] get punished more severely,” Jordan says.

(For example, a huge penalty against UNC may not look so good for college basketball’s governing body.)

Those Fightin' Camels. Gotta shut those crooks down! The NCAA really is worthless...


Campbell placed on NCAA probation for eligibility issues with transfer athletes

Campbell has been placed on NCAA probation for eligibility issues with transfer athletes in 10 sports over a five-year period.

There were 34 transfers, in 10 sports, that failed to meet “progress-toward-degree requirements,” according to the NCAA, which posted its decision on its website on Aug. 11.


http://www.newsobserver.com/sports/college/article97112072.html

Ya kiddin' me?! 34 athletes , 10 sports , 5 years. That's a FRACTION of those involved at unx. Of course , Campbell self-reported. That was their first mistake. Unreal. Punished due to some jocks not making suitable progress toward a degree when limiting that progress is business as usual at unx. Heck , it's a huge part of makin' the scam work!

It literally DOES NOT get any more unfair and hypocrital than the differences in outcomes by the NCAA in both UNC's and Campbell's situations compared with the actual infractions committed by them both...I am a proud Campbell Camel grad and die freakin hard Blue Devil since day 1 so needless to say, this is infuriating to me.

Sure , Dean and the unx basketball program is corrupt but unx football is very under-rated in that area. Lately , it's been Butch and Blake and Fedora ( Yes. Dirty too! ) and Chizik. A new name to add: Tim Beckman. Fed stands by his decision to bring in this azzwipe. Shocker...


Fedora defends hiring of former Illinois coach

Beckman lost his head coaching job at Illinois weeks before the start of the 2015 season, after a university-commissioned investigation found that he pressured trainers and medical staff to downplay injuries. The investigation also concluded he mocked injured players and accused them of weakness.

Why has Fedora hired someone, even as a volunteer assistant, who was found to mistreat players?

The investigation that led to Beckman’s dismissal found several instances of abusive behavior. In one instance Beckman dismissed a player’s concussion symptoms and told him “that he was going to be fine.”

Another time, according to the Chicago Tribune, Beckman ordered a player who’d suffered a potential spinal injury to face him so that Beckman could “tell the player that he was going to be fine.” Beckman also told players, according to the investigation, that he didn’t believe in hamstring injuries.

What does faculty governance mean to you?

In essence, it’s that faculty members have a say in how the University is run. It’s very critical for recruitment and retention. Faculty are more attracted to places where they know they’ll have a say in the way the institution operates. When you look around the country, faculty governance is not as strong everywhere as it is here. It’s not something we can take for granted.

"We make our own rules." SMH


Basically. That watered-down ANOA emboldened unx. Fed doesn't run a tight ship anyway. That much is PROVEN. Regardless , his employer is likely to beat the rap on the most egregious cheating scam in NCAA history so why give 2 ***** about what the NCAA thinks about this? At this point , the NCAA is either complicit with unx in all of this or they're just a big freakin' joke to the holes or both. Regardless , unx Just. Does, Not. Care. Given the way they've wiped their backsides with the NCAA rulebook for over 2 decades ( at least! ) and gotten away with it , it's understandable why they feel comfortable doin' exactly what they want. Ya listen to Fed in that clip? He's straight runnin' **** over there. The evidence? He trashes it. His authority to hire whoever? Don't question it. The new assistant's got a shady past? Half-expected Redbull to flip off the reporter talkin' to 'im. Can't be stressed enough. Neither he nor his employer cares. At all. And btw. This guy is unpaid? Just breakin' down film? Goin' for coffee? Please. Where's he livin?' Sleepin' on a cot in the coaches office? Roy puttin' that guest house back to use? Anyway , start at page 7 and read the info Fed could care less about...

Wolken: North Carolina's Larry Fedora makes two big mistakes at one time in Tim Beckman hire

North Carolina coach Larry Fedora embarrassed himself today.

Unnecessary, egregious embarrassment for himself, not to mention a university and an athletic department that doesn’t need any more of it


And even worse, Fedora attempted to justify it by using straw men and half-truths to absolve Beckman, a buddy he worked with at Oklahoma State a decade ago, from any wrongdoing at Illinois.

And Fedora’s contention that Beckman hasn’t been banished from the NCAA? That’s simply spin.
For one thing, Beckman’s misdeeds at Illinois were never an NCAA issue to begin with but rather a breach of university standards and common decency. And even if something did rise to the level an NCAA violation, the NCAA doesn’t and can’t “banish” coaches but rather sanction their activities.

In Beckman’s case, it shouldn’t need to

With all the attention given to safety and making sure football players’ bodies are being properly cared for, you’d think a school would be smart enough not to justify or endorse the kind of culture Beckman had built at Illinois.

But obviously, Fedora doesn't know or simply doesn’t care. Either way, it’s a bad look for him and even worse for North Carolina, which is unnecessarily letting it happen.

If the chancellor only learned about Beckman yesterday, all of UNC's trumpeted reforms haven't done much to improve oversight of athletics.

There goes Tim Beckman, who was shown in a photo earlier today coaching a player.

@DMVFOLLOWERS ‏@IllmaticDMV

@JonSolomonCBS isnt that a violation? i thought these admin staff cannot coach players on the field


Jon Solomon ‏@JonSolomonCBS


@IllmaticDMV It is a violation. Fedora told everyone yesterday he wouldn't coach players. Maybe that's why Beckman is leaving.

Tim Beckman? The University Of North Carolina Cannot Get Out Of Its Own Way


The now former (thankfully) volunteer assistant coach for the University of North Carolina was on staff for a couple days before UNC President Carol Folt finally found a smart gene and politely requested that Coach Beckman return from whence he came. How it even came to this at a proud institution battling, albeit somewhat successfully, the worst athletic academic fraud case I have ever seen in intercollegiate athletics is mind boggling. The last thing UNC needs now is bad publicity in its second most visible program, but Coach Larry Fedora, in an amazing lack of foresight and common sense brought on his old friend on staff, even though he possesses a negative rap sheet a mile long
