Fats is back...!!!!
Hacker who read columnist's inflight email is N.C. felon
The man who said he hacked a USA TODAY columnist's inflight emails last week as he flew home to North Carolina is Haydn Patrick "Fats" Thomas.
In the column, Steven Petrow wrote about experiencing a loss of computer privacy up close and personal after an encounter with a hacker.
When Petrow was leaving his plane, fellow passenger Thomas approached him to ask if he was a reporter. Then he told Petrow he’d hacked into the American Airlines' inflight Gogo Wi-Fi.
Thomas said he had read Petrow’s emails about a column he was writing on the Apple versus FBI case, including near word-for-word detail on a long email exchange.
Thomas, a party promoter and convicted felon in North Carolina, is currently onprobation for drugs and weapons charges stemming from a December 2012 arrest.
Thomas had been the subject of reporting in USA TODAY in 2013 over his connection with rental cars lent to University of North Carolina basketball player P. J. Hairston. Hairston got several tickets while driving the cars.
Reached by phone, Thomas said he had no comment.

From what I have heard Roy wanted to retire last year but TPB convinced him to stay for one more year for the good of the university. I have heard all along the master plan was to lock in a recruiting class to whether the storm and win a national championship, From everything I have heard Roy will retire at the end of this year. Roy knows he will be sitting games next year if he does not retire. Look for Roy to be more stressed than usual since he is starting to get an idea of how bad the storm is going to be and he wants no part of that. He wants to retreat back to the mountains.
I believe pointwolf has better contacts than I do inside UNc-CH but that is what I am hearing from my contacts.

That's what I hope their team feels - the added pressure that they have to win this year because some dark years could be coming. Takes mentally strong teams not to break under that sort of pressure.

Protect The Brand At All Costs
A UNC recently released email demonstrates how the continued cover up conspiracy was in play during the summer of 2013.
Recall that, at that point, the “official” word was that bogus classes had begun in 1997, after the retirement of Dean Smith. Also recall that this occurred six weeks after Carol Folt assumed the chancellorship but six months before she would commission the Wainstein report; the university was still in full cover-up mode. Finally, recall that no one at the university yet knew that we were writing a book.
Q: What possible reason could there be for UNC records staff to inform athletics staff about academic records not specifically involving athletes?
A: Because they all knew that the paper class system went back to and began under Coach Dean Smith. And they were nervous that someone was looking around in those earlier course records.
Are they still using this tag line?
“We Educate and Inspire through Athletics”. Go Heels.

Mark Story: UK’s rivals in turmoil — U of L, UNC and UT all embroiled in scandal
Three schools Kentucky fans love to loathe now all mired in controversy
For those with a case of Big Blue schadenfreude, these are sunny times.
Three universities that have always stirred the rivalry passions of Kentucky backers — Louisville, North Carolina and Tennessee — are embroiled in embarrassing scandals.
At U of L, the alleged issue is prostitutes used as a men’s basketball recruiting tool. For UNC, it is almost two decades of academic fraud to keep athletes eligible.
North Carolina
Teller of unpopular truths: Former North Carolina academic counselor Mary Willingham was a primary whistle-blower in revealing that UNC had been steering some athletes into sham independent studies courses from 1993-2011.
The ramifications so far: A UNC-commissioned report revealed that more than 3,100 students — roughly 1,500 of whom were athletes — had been enrolled in “paper classes” in what was then the African and Afro-American Studies Department. The Raleigh News & Observer reported that Tar Heels’ men’s basketball players were responsible for 230 of those enrollments, including 54 from 1993-97 under iconic basketball coach Dean Smith. On UNC’s 2005 NCAA championship team, 10 players were African and Afro-American Studies majors.
Questions still to be answered: Is the NCAA ever going to rule in the North Carolina case? Last summer, the college sports governing body issued a notice of allegations to North Carolina that included the charge of lack of institutional control. Subsequently, the university informed the NCAA it had found additional evidence of wrongdoing. According to the New York Times, the NCAA is thought to be developing a new set of allegations to reflect the new information.
Context that makes the scandal especially damaging: For decades, UNC boasted of “The Carolina Way” — the claim that North Carolina exemplified the ideal mix of academic and athletic success. Since the “paper class” scandal, “The Carolina Way” is a punch line.
Person whose job could be in the most jeopardy: No coaches were flagged in the NCAA’s original notice of allegations. Roy Williams, 65, says he will not retire until he is confident he would be leaving Tar Heels men’s basketball on solid footing.

The Hottest Hire in Athletics? Learning Specialists
A Growing Problem
Ten years ago, over 60 percent of football and women’s basketball players at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill were diagnosed with a learning disability or attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD, according to documents the university released last year as part of an investigation into its fake-class scandal.
Bradley Hack, a sports psychologist who consults with the athletic department, raised concerns about those figures in a 2012 email he sent to two neuropsychologists. He suggested that the testing, which was done by an independent neuropsychologist, was inadequate, and that nearly every student who was evaluated received an ADHD diagnosis.
David B. Coppel, director of neuropsychological services and research at the University of Washington Sports Concussion Program, expressed concerns to Mr. Hack about one of the tools that the Chapel Hill neuropsychologist was using. Another neuropsychologist, Adam Shunk, who works with Purdue’s athletic department, said the interviews of Chapel Hill athletes did not appear to be thorough, but that some institutions overlooked such problems.
"From an athletic dept’s perspective, they don’t really care about the quality of the evaluation," Mr. Shunk wrote, "but is the person licensed and does it meet NCAA documentation criteria (depressing but true)."
"The situation you described," he added, "sounds like pretty typical practice, but it is a huge disservice to the athletes."
Bubba Cunningham, the athletic director at Chapel Hill, said last week that he was not aware of the numbers or the concerns the psychologists expressed, which were first detailed on the website BlueDevilicious. But Mr. Cunningham said the university no longer worked with the neuropsychologist in question.
Nicki Moore, a senior athletics official at Chapel Hill, said that the football team had about 10 players a year over the past three years with an ADHD diagnosis but that the department did not keep information about players’ learning disabilities in the aggregate.

A friend of mine talked to Dick Grubar (UNC guard from 60's) this weekend and he is hearing that nothing will happen to men's basketball. What else is he going to say? Well, if that is the case, then every school should do what they did.

UNC-CH was discussed at the December COI, just not sure to what extent the discussion was around the specific case vs litigation involving UNc-cH. As far as I have been told there is not going to be amended NOA because what UNC-CH reported does not necessitate an amended NOA (Boxill is already covered the Men's soccer does not rise to level of a 1 or 2 violation and has nothing to do with current NOA). Everything I have been told is before the end of May for punishment.
With all of that said my contacts have gone into a lockdown mode for the last month or so with respect to UNC-CH.

UNC cornerback Michael Hughes off team amid “personal reasons”
Hughes showed promise in freshman season but is currently not on the team
He’s enrolled in school and still working through legal case related to assault charge
Unclear if Hughes faces additional legal trouble or if he’ll rejoin the team
North Carolina freshman cornerback Michael Hughes is not currently on the football team because of “personal reasons,” team spokesman Kevin Best said.
Hughes' longterm status with the team is unclear. He is still enrolled in school, but it's unknown whether he'll rejoin the team in time for the start of spring practice, which begins later this month.
Hughes showed promise during his freshman season but part of it was marred by his involvement in a fight at a UNC fraternity that resulted in misdemeanor assault charges for Hughes and M.J. Stewart, another UNC cornerback.
Both players served two-game suspensions. The prosecution of that case has been deferred, a court clerk said on Monday, and Hughes' next court date in that case is not until February 2017. It wasn't immediately clear on Monday whether Hughes faces additional legal trouble.
Hughes played in 12 games last season. He finished his freshman season with 12 tackles and broke up three passes.

An Academic Charade: U. Of Miami Basketball Team Could Miss Almost All Of Their March Classes
Last month, ACC Commissioner John Swofford blasted the University of Michigan for sending football players on a practice trip during spring break, complaining that the trip was a “a huge intrusion on a college student’s life.”

The support of that idiot fanbase , in part , has turned B-Rad into an even bigger azzwipe than he woulda been otherwise. The guy takes a shot at DUKE and , as the tweet attests , he thinks better of it then deletes it. If nuthin' else , the last 5+ years have shown unx to be a racially exploitative university...times TEN! Needless to say , given the responses to his wrong-headed tweet , he won't be pointing the dirty end of the "racist" stick at anyone else for awhile now. What a tool...
