RE: The gift that keeps on giving

Another non-story. Are people really surprised that athletes who struggle to get out of high school need help staying eligible at academically rigorous universities? The only ones shocked here are the ones that thought that Carolina somehow was above the fray, that we did it better than other schools. I was never in that crowd. If you want big time sports you have to recruit people that otherwise wouldn't get a second glance in the admissions process. Happens everywhere, which is why the NCAA won't get involved.

That is probably the biggest piece of BS you have ever typed on here.

The gift that keeps on giving

The obsession. It pounds the mental stability of the haters on a hourly basis. LOL

It really is the gift that keeps on giving.

That you were in the crowd that never believed UNCheat was better than other schools. What a crock of ish.

Oooops

Oh, don't get me wrong: I've always believed that UNC is better than certain other schools academically and athletically. But I was never in the crowd that believed that we had some sort of magical way to make our academic exceptions smarter once they arrived on campus. Revenue athletics are a game that every big-time university has to figure out how to play.

You must not be the same guy I have interacted with for the last couple of years then.

Or maybe the events of the last couple of years at UNCheat have finally penetrated your brain.

To bad you don't have a set to stay with your viewpoint since the beginning of this.
