The king of cheating

The ultimate cheaters.
Hopefully, they'll get their well-deserving penalty for a long time.
I know that the ncaa is on their side.
We can hope.
####### cheats.

Fraud. It's the Carolina way.

They probably convince themselves their titles are legit by thinking "everybody does it" but their academic fraud is a stain on the conference and actual institutions of higher learning everywhere.

Re: UNC paid lawyers to advise Football players not to answer NCAA questions

You can argue that UNC, in their own way, were at least as premeditated and complicit - and flagrantly uncooperative after the fact - as SMU was when their cowboy behavior and utter refusal to cooperate with the NCAA got them the Death Penalty.
UNC is a law school, and as such they probably can't help taking this combative and lawerly approach since lawyers always think they can alter reality to their own satisfaction...but in the long run I think it's just enraged the NCAA because the Tarholes have now done exactly what SMU did - which is wave not one but two upraised middle fingers right in the NCAA's face. At one point the Tarheel legal eagles were even brazen enough to suggest that not only did the NCAA not have jurisdiction over their case since it was academic and not athletic fraud - but that the NCAA actually agreed with this rather dubious assertion. (In other words: "Recruits, don't worry 'bout anything, nothing to see here. Here, sign, sign, right on the dotted line..." To which the NCAA responded with a hard, emphatic, and very curt "negatory, Tarholes, we're gonna have to disagree with you on that". Which which unmistakably the sound of the NCAA drawing its saber.
The NCAA is of course going to have be uber-careful (and as such, slow as Christmas) about this, because obviously UNC has already clearly shown that it's going to nitpick and challenge the legality and minutia of every ruling the NCAA passes down, but ultimately, the fact that UNC publicly stepped up and bi-atch-slapped the NCAA in full view of the press and public isn't going to be allowed to pass.
Everybody's watching, now to see what the NCAA does, and if their response is weak, it's open season on the NCAA's power. They know that, everyone watching knows it. So UNC is going to get hit. Very hard. Or the NCAA might as well disband itself tomorrow, because they're finished as a governing entity.

Agree with all stated Q. Don't think NCAA wants to be involved with the cost of a never ending battle with Ucheat attorneys defending their school. Agree NCAA has a choice, fight or "hang it up" as far as being respected. My bet is their response will be bluster,but very weak in the knees. Sad but true.
