Did UNC cheat to get this most recent title?
Did UNC cheat to get this most recent title?
I guess technically they didn't, DJ, but if 20 years of previous cheating had been enforced and the program penalized accordingly then the probability of them winning a championship this year would certainly have been reduced or even impossible...if they had been put on probation this year. IMO that's piggybacking on past sins.
But they weren't penalized or put on probation this past year and this year's UNC team went about their business and got the job done. I give them credit for that.

No, but they "beat the system" w/millions of dollars to continue aggressive stall tactics by an army of lawyers. These are tactics unavailable to most other schools and its a corrupt system. Point is, its a tainted title, as OADD so artfully described.....Welcome back OADD! Missed ya my friend!!!

Why are y'all even talking about UNCheat on this board? They're irrelevant. This is a celebration of our new star point guard that's going to lead this team to a sweep of that other school
Well, it didn't take this case for me to learn that the NCAA is a corrupt system. That was established long ago.
For the record, again....I'm on your side. I'd love to seen them fry and burn. It's not going to happen, though.
Well said. And as you know, the last thing I'm going to do is strap my saddle to anything-UNC....I've quietly followed this thing along and done a lot of reading. Clearly, they cheated. I think they know it, too. But ultimately, IMO, the NCAAs hands are tied. I don't like it, either....trust me.
I know how you feel about this mess, DJ. It's disappointing to us all. I keep hoping they'll be punished, but I'm afraid you're right about nothing happening.
OFC
What would "fry and burn" constitute in your opinion??? I NEVER said that or implied "Death Penalty." I am too much of a realist to expect that....Hey you're the guru of The Duke mods for gosh sakes, you NEVER have to tell me you're a Die Hard Devil like myself!
OFC
Good question. The term was more relative than anything else....realistically I don't think a postseason ban and stiff scholarship restrictions would be totally out of line. Banners were never going to come down.
No, just ask RoyDid UNC cheat to get this most recent title?
I understand that there's not much that will be done and I've said that from the beginning but I hope just the time this lingers on and the squirming and sweating it out that unc nation is going through stays for a long , long time and with fans like DevilDJ it's not going to be forgotten. Anyone who knows anything at all about college sports at all will know unc cheated and got by with it. OFC
Nor will I and it grinds their gears around here when I remind them if it.
Show that's the first step towards recovery, to admit you had a problem. He was blind but now he seesAmazing Trevons Dad was a huge TarHeel fan.
lol... um, no. #1 Briscoe was never seen as a pure PG and #2 Briscoe was not/is not as talented as DuvalBriscoe 2.0...

Glad we got him, but Duval will not be what we are hoping. Briscoe is really good, had to play with the best guards in nation for two years in a row. Gotta be realistic
Lol! Give me Duval any day of the week over Briscoe or Green!Briscoe 2.0...
While I agree we should keep our expectations in perspective but Duval is a much better player than Briscoe. He's going to be very good.Glad we got him, but Duval will not be what we are hoping. Briscoe is really good, had to play with the best guards in nation for two years in a row. Gotta be realistic
Please do, Mr. Wizard.You sound like a great basketball mind. Tell us more.
Dude.....smoke another oneGlad we got him, but Duval will not be what we are hoping. Briscoe is really good, had to play with the best guards in nation for two years in a row. Gotta be realistic
We didn't miss on Coleman and green. We cooled on both, duval got his grades cleaned up, and was the only pg worth taking in this class.
Not saying he'll suck, I know he will be decent at best. We got him because we missed on Coleman and Green. Watched Duval play in person, he was okay at shooting.
