Amateurism Isn't Educational: Debunking the NCAA's Dumbest Lie
Three years ago, the NCAA reportedly was investigating 20 cases of academic fraud at its member schools, 18 of them at Division I institutions. One of those schools, the University of North Carolina, was placed on academic probation by its accreditation body—the first Tier 1 research university to receive such a penalty. UNC remains under NCAA investigation for a massive scandal in which hundreds of athletes over a 23-year period were steered toward bogus "paper classes" that never met and required students to produce single, end-of-semester papers, which often were plagiarized or allegedly written by others and sometimes graded by non-faculty members.
Even got a pic too. #HangABanner...

From the same link...
The desire to win—which, again, is unrelated to player pay—also leads schools to admit talented athletes who are woefully unprepared for college. A 2014 CNN analysis of the SAT and ACT entrance exam scores of football and basketball players at 21 NCAA schools found that between 7 and 18 percent were reading at an elementary-school level. Those numbers are lower than what former North Carolina learning specialist turned whistleblower Mary Willingham said she found when she studied 183 football and basketball players who attended the school from 2004 to 2012: 60 percent read between fourth- and eighth-grade levels, while about 10 percent read below a third-grade level.
(In a UNC-commissioned review of Willingham's claims, three independent adult literacy experts concluded that the specific test underlying her claims was not a good measure of reading levels and that she may have misread the findings and inaccurately assigned a grade level to the scores).
Oh yeah. Those 3 "experts." Let's clear that up...

Except: former University of Michigan basketball player Juwan Howard finished his undergraduate degree during his rookie year with the Washington Bullets, the same year he earned $1.31 million playing basketball. Likewise, former University of North Carolina basketball player Antawn Jamison (career earnings: $142.5 million) completed his degree while playing in the NBA. So did former UNC players Vince Carter ($169.6 million) and Jerry Stackhouse ($84.5 million)

Daren, what was UNC so eager to hide that they settled with Mary for $300,000+ as opposed to going to court for wrongful termination?
B. Martin @yibyabby 21h21 hours ago More
"182 violations" of 3 different federal statutes, and SHE hid them by accepting a settlement from the institution she put at risk?
B. Martin @yibyabby
UNC has assessed as many privacy law violations by Mary Willingham as it has NCAA academic ineligibility instances due to irregular courses.
B. Martin @yibyabby
The answer to that ought to be the same as the answer to "are you arguing UNC has the right to play academically ineligible athletes?"
B. Martin @yibyabby
That's not a violation. That's, oh, what's the word? "Irregular?"
A Poisoned Ivy @CheatingBlueRam
I would have gone with "anomalous" or "customized research opportunity," but "irregular" works.
B. Martin @yibyabby
182 UNC athletes' privacy rights were violated by Willingham's actions despite no cautions or repercussions from ED or HHS. 1/2
B. Martin @yibyabby
Crowder's "irregular" practices got UNC censured by SACS, but had no impact on the acad. eligibility of even 1 of the 799 UNC athletes? 2/2.
B. Martin @yibyabby
I have the same type of "proof" as you. I choose to "ponder" while you "assert." Or, perhaps you have privileged access to non-public info?
B. Martin @yibyabby
Who determines if conduct constitutes a FERPA or HIPAA violation? Who is able to determine if circumstances result in acad. ineligibility?
B. Martin @yibyabby
You look at 1 set of non-specific circumstances & declare federal privacy law violated, discarding the fact of no official determination.
B. Martin @yibyabby
Another "she" committed academic fraud & counselors exploited it to "help" students. They were provided counterfeit services. Wrong.
B. Martin @yibyabby
@darenlucas40 @CheatingBlueRam Maybe the difference is you know athletes who felt violated by Willingham but none who complain about the curriculum they were offered.

Should NCAA's historic punishment of Louisville make UNC nervous?
And the leadership at other schools nationally should be on high alert. Especially in Chapel Hill, N.C.
They might as well start unclipping the fasteners holding North Carolina’s basketball banners aloft in the Dean Dome for the 2005 and ’09 national titles. Both of those were compromised by academic fraud, even though the school has been tenaciously rebutting the NCAA’s jurisdiction to even apply sanctions in the case.
When that laborious case finally makes its way to the Committee on Infractions, you can bet North Carolina will have an increased level of awareness and trepidation after seeing what happened to Louisville. Because as much as StripperGate merited a harsh NCAA response, it still took something of an extra effort from the committee to apply it.

One of the greatest mysteries of the UNC scandal
This brings me to the great mystery that I think about often – what the heck happened to all of my emails between 2003 and 2010, the ones sent from the UNCAA (Athletic Association) server? Unlike Hillary’s server, this was/is hardly ‘private or personal’ – or is it?
I wrote emails to Steve Farmer, Robert Mercer, John Blanchard, Jan Boxill, Wayne Walden, Cynthia Reynolds, Brent Blanton, Beth Bridger, and many, many students (whose names could be redacted, of course). What happened to them all? The ASPSA advising team and I exchanged hundreds of emails. Wayne Walden and I exchanged emails that included our frustration with the academic mountains his players had to climb
In my opinion, this is proof that there has never been full disclosure about the contents of the UNC Athletic Association server. Nor has there been a discussion around why athletics has their own server and why athletic staff, if they are reporting to Arts and Sciences as state employees, continue to use that separate server.
With all of my missing emails (and who knows how many other people are affected), some would conclude that UNC has destroyed evidence that might impact their case.

Jay Bilas: NCAA officials ‘breaking their own rules’ to punish UNC in athletics scandal
Jay Bilas says the NCAA is so determined to punish North Carolina that it’s breaking its own rules to do so. Bilas – a former Duke basketball player who now works with ESPN – said there’s never been a situation like the one at UNC, where university officials allegedly used fraudulent classes to keep players eligible. But Bilas thinks the NCAA has stepped out of line.
“A rules-based organization cannot break its own rules to get the result that it wants,” Bilas said.
Bilas said the NCAA’s committee on infractions has taken unprecedented actions in the UNC case, overriding its own rules and demonstrating conflicts of interest along the way.
“They’ve shown themselves as wanting to do anything they can to achieve a certain result,” he said. “No committee has ever done what this committee has done in prosecuting the case.”
Bilas has lost his damn mind and along with it any semblance of objectivity...
This began seven years ago. SEVEN! The NCAA has done everything possible to AVOID sanctioning unx otherwise this woulda been over a long time ago. A directional/mid-major school woulda been nuked by now...
That’s not the case at North Carolina, Bilas says, where academic irregularities can’t be considered as extra benefits because the classes were available to the general student body.
Lord Amighty. Really , Jay? This? Despite an azzload of e-mails and other info attesting to how ( and why! ) the "general student body" was included , he pukes this up? Ok , Bradley. Whatever you say. smh

Some amusing info from the CSRI Conference...
Baddour. LMAO. The guy who turned a blind eye to all the shenanigans going on during his watch as unx athletic director ( and kissed Roy & Butch's azz! ) gives his thoughts on "oversight." smh. From back in tha day. Baddour defending Davis...
Davis will be part of football team solutions
TO THE EDITOR:
As Director of Athletics, I hired Butch Davis to lead our football program because he was an outstanding coach who shared the core values that we try to uphold at the University of North Carolina. Those include academic excellence, integrity and fair play. He taught those values as head coach at the University of Miami and key administrators at that school saluted him for raising the standards and positively changing the culture within their program.
We are currently faced with several issues, which we deeply regret. Monday’s editorial (“Davis should go,” Oct. 4) stated that Coach Davis should have or could have known of alleged misconduct, but there is no information that says he knew and I believe that to be the case.
Butch Davis deeply regrets what has happened and has accepted responsibility for the circumstances we are dealing with. He also regrets not knowing and is changing his management practices to help him become better aware of what is happening in and around the program. He understands that regardless of his knowledge or approval, players and coaches are operating under his watch as the head coach
He, like all of us in the athletic department, is committed to finding long-term solutions so we can move our program forward in a way that can make everyone who loves this University proud. Winning games is important, but representing the University of North Carolina in a first-class manner is unquestionably greater. Coach Davis wants to be part of those solutions and I feel strongly that he will do that as our football coach.

Roy Williams takes a shot at Calipari for attending the draft
Tonight, John Calipari will fly from Colorado Springs to New York to watch his players get drafted, but if you ask Roy Williams, that’s not really a coach’s place. Ole Roy was on The David Glenn Show in North Carolina this morning, and when asked, said he wasn’t able to attend tonight’s draft to support Justin Jackson because of a family obligation. Fair enough, but Roy went one step further, taking a shot at “Big John” Calipari by saying he doesn’t like to attend the draft because it’s supposed to be a special moment between the players and their families, not the players and their former coaches.
“When I was at Kansas, I never went to the draft because I always felt like it was a special time for the families. It was not anything — you know, I kid John Calipari because he’s always jumping up there and I said, I don’t want to be jumping up and have a kid grab me or anything like that. John’s so good about it. He says, no, I want them to grab their mom first and then grab me so they see me on TV with them. I said, I’m not doing that, Big John.”
http://kentuckysportsradio.com/bask...s-a-shot-at-calipari-for-attending-the-draft/
Roy doesn't attend because he's a spurned girlfriend. Tries his best to keep his guys as long as possible. If they have other ideas? He's pizzed. Of course , given his current state of recruiting , uhhh , "success" attending NBA Drafts won't be much of a consideration anyway. lulz

B. Martin @yibyabby
That's the POINT, Dt. UNC won't question the eligibility. They should. The onus has been on them since SACS decision, but they won't.
B. Martin @yibyabby
But you can't put academic misconduct genie back in the bottle, so if UNC won't self-report, then COI can force UNC to assess eligibility.
B. Martin @yibyabby
Enforcement should have done it. Academic misconduct? They had enrollment data & transcripts. They could assess and declare ineligible any student athlete who, w/o irregular credit fell below NCAA's GPA, degree progress or minimum semester credit rules.
B. Martin @yibyabby
UNC hides behind ersatz claim that "no credits" were nullified as if that means they remained legit & non-fraudulent. Not the way it works.
B. Martin @yibyabby
UNC can keep transcripts intact all it wants. But once UNC identified academic misconduct & SAs impacted by that misconduct, it's in NCAA's arena. The school is supposed to have the integrity to self-report. UNC has shown none of that, trying to mask itself from 10.1b.
https://twitter.com/yibyabby
Martin has chronicled just about every moment of this. Here , he continues a discussion with a tarhole fan that has been goin' on about as long as the scam itself. Anyway , I thought this exchange was interesting because it's yet another illustration of just how corrupt unx is. NCAA regulations , like golf , work on the conceit that those who break the rules WANT to self-report. Obviously , unx has zero interest in that unless it's to throw Sylvia or men's soccer under the bus. Anyway , if they were intent on being transparent , unx woulda done their own self-reporting...in this case that would entail looking for the truth in the exact place Mary said it would be...the transcripts. SACS called it academic fraud , unx AGREED but didn't take the next step...re-calculate the GPA's by removing all fraudulent classes. Independent Study was misused too so add that in as well.

What Roy means is that he doesn't attend unless he has multiple first round draft choices...oh, let's say 4. Remember the 'cute' little meme that circulated in 2012.

Roy attended that night NOT for those 4 players but for himself. He had just won a title. He was sending multiple players to the league. The AFAM scam was in high gear...kickin' azz an' takin' names. He couldn't have asked for a better time to shill for his program. Lately , his top recruits languish in college while their counterparts collect NBA paychecks. He's quickly earning a rep for that particular paradigm. Hell , I'd stay away from Draft Night too.
unx still lying an' obfuscating. Shocker. #JayKnew...
When the Dean Quashes Your Class: An Interview with Jay Smith
This issue is a sore spot for UNC-Chapel Hill, which is still recovering from a major “athletics-academics” scandal first revealed several years ago—about which, it so happens, Smith had been particularly outspoken.
Smith: The canceling of my class is perfectly consistent with the university’s overall handling of the scandal and its fallout. They’ve always got something to hide, something they would prefer not to talk about. From the beginning, their instinct has been to divulge as little as possible about the mechanics of the fraud in which the institution engaged, to avoid a public airing of what happened, and to resist confronting the full range of issues brought to light by the scandal. The existence of my course not only threatens to shed critical light on administrative decision-making but stands as a direct contradiction to the institution’s entire scandal-management
Behrent: Your dean, Kevin Guskiewicz, told The Chronicle of Higher Education that his initial concern was not the content of your class, but the fact that you taught it in lieu of an “honors” class you had been scheduled to teach in fall 2016. Your provost, James W. Dean, informed UNC’s Faculty Council that your course was cancelled for 2017 due to “scheduling, not academic freedom” issues. Is there some truth to this?
Smith: No. This is pretext, pure and simple.trategy. To the surprise of even their harshest critics, myself included, their determination to change the subject, and to cover dirty laundry, has actually led them to carry out a naked assault on academic freedom...the Dean had already let my chair know of his displeasure over the existence of my course. And breaking all precedent, he had also made clear that henceforth Deans would effectively be making the decision on whether to allow the course to go forward in any given semester. The Provost made his public remark, backing the Dean’s dishonest rendering of events, without even bothering to ask me or my department chair for our version of the story. A reasonable person can only conclude that the “Honors course” excuse was an ex post facto rationale cooked up and coordinated by the higher-ups in the administration.

When the Dean Quashes Your Class: An Interview with Jay Smith

Suspended UNC football player alleges biased magistrate issued sex assault warrant
A former University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill football player claims he's facing a sexual assault charge only because the magistrate that issued the warrant backs sex assault victims.
http://www.wral.com/ex-unc-football...gistrate-issued-sex-assault-warrant/16781468/
Orange County District Judge Charles Anderson said Friday he would rule on that motion and others filed by the defense next month.
Looks like Fedora can expect a favorable ruling for Artis...
Charles T. L. Anderson was a district court judge for the 15B Judicial District, serving Orange and Chatham counties of North Carolina.[1] He has served in this position since 1996. Anderson was re-elected in November 2012 for a four-year term that expired in 2016.
Education
Anderson received his undergraduate and J.D. (1976) degrees from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.[3][4][2][3]

UNC Gets What For From The AAUP
It’s just too bad the university is incapable of embarrassment anymore.
Outside of Chapel Hill, UNC has had no defenders after its abysmal academic scandal became public knowledge. The closest has been Jay Bilas, but Bilas’s main focus is usually the NCAA and that’s no difference here: he does criticize UNC from time to time but saves most of his barbs for the NCAA which he sees as overreaching.
Still, it can’t feel great to get this letter from the N.C. A.A.U.P.
Not that academics are that big of a deal compared to athletics but it is more bad PR that has to be managed. Academics may not be high on the list university does have its priorities.
The A.A.U.P. wrote in to express concern about how UNC professor Jay Smith has been treated.
Smith had been teaching a class called History 383 (“Big-Time College Sports and the Rights of Athletes, 1956 to the Present”), but the department, under apparent pressure from above, told him he wouldn’t be teaching it for a while.
The Association is not amused and accuses UNC of interfering with Smith’s academic freedom.
It’s no great surprise. Since academics publicly took a back seat to athletics, pretty much anything is possible now.

The letter. Brutal. No really. Brutal...
1. UNC appears to have violated Professor Smith’s freedom to teach.
2. UNC appears to have violated Professor Smith’s academic freedom and thus to have jeopardized its responsibility to the public.
3. UNC appears to have undermined shared governance procedures that assign facultyprimary responsibility for the curriculum.
4. UNC appears to have inverted the proper relationship between its academic mission and its athletic program.
