UNC Scandal - Some Predictions

RE: UNC Scandal - Some Predictions

"We will not lose any scholarships. Ain't going to happen." "No bowl bans. Mark it down." "We will get a slap on the wrist, nothing more."

Yep, it's just everyone's imagination. Riiiight.

The last was excatly that, "a slap on the wrist" A 1 year bowl ban IS nothing. IT WAS a slap on the wrist. Sorry

It is imagination to think the "death penalty" is coming. Ask TBU, he will never be able to say a word without being MOCKED. Try another avenue of obsession, this one leads down the path of nothingness.

Good nite!

So, having the SBI and a former governor leading a bunch of forensic auditors digging up dirt on campus so soon after the NCAA dropped the hammer on Penn State is of no consequence? Maybe the DSM will come up with a new diagnosis for the kind of delusions that UNC fans have had the past 3 years, such as Tar Heel Mania.

Exactly right, NCSU79! You hit my premise right on the head. The NCAA has painted itself into the proverbial corner by their ruling on Penn State. And my prediction has been that the first true violator of NCAA rules that comes along afterwards will be made into an example. That appears to be UNC; quite unfortunately.

Bear in mind the NCAA did not run its own investigation into PSU - they relied on the Freeh report. Could the same thing happen with UNC? Possibly. In other words: Sanctions could be levied when the SBI and/or Governor Martin reports come out. That might explain the lack of NCAA investigators poring over records in Chapel Hill.

I discount the "Pandora's Box" theory. Why? All of the recent revelations about academic improprieties means it has already been opened - which further increases pressure on the NCAA to act.

As mentioned in my opening post: It is much easier to kick someone when they are already down. UNC was already hit with sanctions - my premise is that will make them an easier target to be hit yet again. And never, ever underestimate the power of media outlets calling for action. You can believe Emmert & Company are reading those reports and smarting from the criticisms.

At the end of the day, these are only predictions. If I miss the bullseye, it won't be the first or last time. But I think my arrows are going to be pretty close to the mark when all is said and done.............

So, every time you're proven wrong, you just change the parameters? OK.

Uhh, I believe, if I'm not mistaken, that Carolina still has not received the death penalty. If thats what you were referring to. It was a slap on the wrist. I think thats why all this ta doo. Sorry, but it is what it ain't

Never said anything about the Death Penalty. In fact, everyone here agreed at the time the DP was NOT warranted. Probation, loss of schollys, post-season ban, 2 seasons of wins vacated. Yet, you still insist they are only a slap on the wrist when most of your brethren said it would be less than that. We'll have to disagree on the definition of "a slap on the wrist." No harm, no foul.

RE: UNC Scandal - Some Predictions

NCAA will probably wait until the media is through investigating. They will then move in, take that data, and punish UNC, probably severely. At least 2 NCAA banners are going to come down, if they AFAM course are ruled to be the shams they are.

Roy is going to retire, soon, for "health reasons".

Probation means nothing. Wins vacated means nothing exept to PUKE fans who are so embarrassed at the beatings over the last quarter century. The lost Scollys hurt but not really that big of a deal. And the post season ONE year ban, I laugh because I dont remember us being put in the National Championship picture this year.

One things for sure, I will not lose one minute of sleep over it. But like you said, No harm no foul.

When you have no shame/ self respect you don't mind humiliation. So sleep is not a problem.

Wins DO mean something, because once the NCAA vacates about a decade or so of basketball wins, UNC will then be so far behind Kentucky that they'll never catch up again.
That is a BIG deal.
