Is Roy getting nervous?

University of North Carolina Chancellor Holden Thorp said in an interview with The News & Observer last month that the university would likely raise entrance requirements for athletes ahead of a more stringent NCAA policy that will go into effect in 2016.

But Tar Heels basketball coach Roy Williams said here on Wednesday that he was unaware of any imminent changes to UNC's admission standards for athletes.

"I'm not so sure that everything that appeared is exactly what Chancellor Thorp meant," Williams told reporters at the ACC's annual basketball media day. "I personally don’t think that anybody in the ACC is going to try to do any of those new measures before everybody else does them."

Beginning in 2016, the NCAA will raise the academic standard for incoming college athletes. Beginning then, athletes will need to graduate high school with a 2.3 GPA - instead of the 2.0 that's needed now - to be eligible to compete during their freshmen year.

Thorp last month said UNC would likely raise its standards before the NCAA's policy goes into effect.

"I suspect that we'll end up raising our standards ahead of that time," Thorp said. "We'll be ahead of the curve."

No

Holden Thorp will not be there and this has to go under review after review. The thing that will more than likely stop it from ever happening is that is expected to be recommended for each and every UNC system school.

The State mole that started this feeding of information never expected that little caveat to come into place.

As a result, the basketball program will see little to no ramifications from this.

The State trolls wanted to bring UNC basketball down to their level, it is backfiring.

I can see 903 having wet dreams now thinking that Roy may retire and not challenge K any longer.

If K wants Roy to quit, he should just pay him off.

I hope Roy stays forever. With the way K has been dominating Roy the last few years I am sure he hopes he stays forever also.

we'll know he's nervous when he hold a press conf about the lakers job.

RE: Is Roy getting nervous?

Isn't this a case of employee subordination? Who is calling the shots over there, anyway? I mean, we all know basketball is more important than anything else at Carolina, including academics. But is Roy REALLY the emperor over there?

He shot down what the CHANCELLOR said.

I think Thorp is cowering under his desk, hoping Roy's mafia doesn't come looking for him.
