RE: Report finds academic fraud at UNC

Check out the N&O. I've been saying this was the root of the problem over there for years. Almost every fb & bb player enroll in AA Studies or Communications. I wondered why for decades no players were ever academically ineligible. Never. Now we know why. Bogus classes. Easy A's. Fraudulant programs to help players stay eligible & post fraud grad rates. What a mockery of college athletics.

thuuuuggggg life at the Hill.....these last couple of years the truth has finally come out. BB Ball and F Ball players showing their true colors. The truth shall set you free.

RE: Report finds academic fraud at UNC

I don't see how any current UNC student (to wit: thrill) can defend the cheapening of his or her degree by such shenanigans.

Oh, believe me, if I had majored in African-American studies, I'd be livid right now.

Thankfully I chose a different program!

Ya'll really need to get a life. If you have posted on this rediculous thread more than once, your life is a joke.

RE: Report finds academic fraud at UNC

I wonder how much hush money the 57 year old "retiree" got. That's my 1 allowed post per backnblack.

Why didn't Roy come forward and self-report?

Imagine how much better Roy would have looked if he had come forward when Butch got busted and admitted his players had taken those courses and suggested self-imposed penalties for the round ball program. Instead he listened to the boosters who assured him that they had it covered. I guess this helps to explain why he's become such a Bobby Knight-style maniac over the past few years. Guilt and stress will do that. We all knew that it seemed very odd that such a systematic program for parking and grades would only by used by the football team but sometimes it takes a smoking gun. As soon as we get to the next step and those course rolls are reported, everyone will have their smoking gun.

So Roy should have punished a team that didn't do anything wrong?

Nice work.

Like I said... some people just have to have the smoking gun. Well, the smoking guns have been coming out of the woodwork, so once again... be patient just a little longer.

Once again, don't hold your breath.

RE: Report finds academic fraud at UNC

I read the first 7 pages on this one. The AA Studies department obviously was a dismal/fraudulant program, and UNC should have known something was totally amiss. No one even spotted this mess. Anything. Or any one person to even spot this lame Couse of Study. (For graduates) that know this.

One writer stated that the article only referenced FOOTBALL players. Ha. What a joke to write this. Only football players... Give all of us a break that have some comprehension skills.

This is not over yet for UNC. Could be some will be fired further, and the BOG could look inside the leadership once again.

That was said in response to his claim that the bball program was involved also, yet I saw no mention of any bball players. Since you have such great comprehension skills, please tell me how many bball players are affected and their names oh wise and comprehensive one.
