There is absolutely nothing new in the report and the same names are mentioned.

There is all kinds of new information. Did you not read the article?
The only new information I saw was this:
-Someone (probably N-guy) changed grades without consulting with profs
-Independent study courses could have been supervised better
-All problems ended in 2009 when a certain person in the department resigned
Everything else was the same information from the NCAA report, just rehashed.
UNC should be commended for launching this investigation and releasing the information, even though there hasn't been an issue for three years now.
TBK sees conspiracy abound. He is scared that Fedora will beat State in football this season.
Fedora will torch NC State this season. Can't wait to see it.

Jeff Ruland, a former National Basketball Association center, said he took unspecified amounts of money from Jim Valvano while the North Carolina State coach was coaching at Iona, The Philadelphia Daily News reported today.
Valvano, who left Iona for North Carolina State in 1980, denied Ruland's allegation through his attorney, Art Kaminsky, who also said that a National Collegiate Athletic Association investigation found no wrongdoing at Iona.
Not Looking for a Debate
''Jim doesn't want to get into a public debate over this,'' Kaminsky told the newspaper.
Ruland, a two-time All-Star with the Washington Bullets, was quoted as saying that ''greenbacks changed hands.''
Asked if he accepted money from Valvano while being recruited or while playing at Iona, Ruland said: ''Both of those. That's enough. That's all I want to say.''
Ruland said that the matter wasn't ''about a lot of money.'' He would not specify the amount or how frequently it changed hands.
Ruland's N.B.A. career ended after a knee injury limited his play to five games with the Philadelphia 76ers in 1986-87.

That's a little fresher than your 1989 post.

As if he hasn't had enough problems lately, Jim Valvano, the North Carolina State basketball coach, has a new potential scandal on his hands. The News and Observer of Raleigh reported that North Carolina State officials were investigating a report that Charles Shackleford, a former Wolfpack star who now plays for the Nets, accepted an illicit payment of $65,000 during the 1987-88 college season.
According to the report, the money was given to Shackleford without the knowledge of Valvano or other college officials by a man posing as a sports agent.
A university spokesman said that the allegation was being taken very seriously and that Valvano had no knowledge of any payments to Shackleford.
After an investigation into a series of charges made in a 1989 book, ''Personal Fouls,'' the National Collegiate Athletic Association placed the Wolfpack basketball program on probation for two years and banned it from this year's N.C.A.A. tournament. Shackleford, who has consistently refused to comment on the situation, also refused to talk to investigators during last year's N.C.A.A. inquiry.(AP)

Love how no matter what we do, NC State always ends up making us look like saints.

We can bring up Leslie's illegal benefits and $1300 in illegal benefits to Tracey Smith. Is that recent enough for you?

You'll have to wait a long time to see that, and I mean more than 6-7 months.
Our defense is going to utterly shut down that so-called spread offense he's trying to implement.
Question is, though (getting back on topic): Will Carolina even be able to field a football team this year. I mean with all this academic stuff coming out. How will they keep their players eligible?
Nah, they'll find a way. They won't let this little speedbump slow them down.

No one who has followed the vari-ous scandals that have hit collegiate athletics in recent years would doubt that good students are sometimes re-cruited to write papers for good ath-letes.
Even hardened cynics might be suprised, however, to learn just how far-reaching the practice may have become, at least according to Peter Goldenbock's new book, ''Personal Fouls.''
The book, which has been stirring up controversy in North Carolina, includes an anectdote involving the North Carolina State basketball coach, Jim Valvano, who is not commenting on the book, and a professor of music, Frank Hammond, who has reportedly branded the anecdote as ridiculous.
Despite that, Golenbock, who attributes the information to his chief source, John Simonds, a former team manager who had a falling out with Valvano, clearly believes Simonds. What follows is the Simonds account, as recounted in the book:
The episode began when two of Valvano's players received failing grades in one of Hammond's courses, Music 200, something that was considered no mean feat since Hammond is such a fan of North Carolina State basketball that he has been known to give A's to players who simply showed up in class and evinced a modicum of interest in the subject.
That, of course, was precisely what the two players had failed to do.
Although Hammond apparently drew the line at giving passing grades to players he had never met, when Valvano appealed to him, he agreed to give a special crash makeup course for the two players and even to hold it in the basketball office.
There was, however, one condition laid down by Hammond: Valvano would have to take the course along with the two players.
Although the coach, known on campus as V, was apparently not thrilled, he had no choice, which is how it came to pass that an assistant coach took notes for the three special students.

Your prediction success rate is lower than sassie's.

First sensible thing you've said all day! In the scheme of things, a report about a terminated AfAm professor from 2009 is little more than a speedbump to our current team.
Looking forward to seeing Fedora do work in the ACC.
