Thanks for the link. It makes one wonder if the NCAA has

been reading the large number of national articles written on the deceitful practices at unc or if their digital subscription to the Raleigh News&Observer has expired. And while it seldom happens, I actually agree with Dodd that the work Dan Kane has done on this scandal is Pulitzer Prize worthy.

I used to be one who'd defend the NCAA (generally) and the investigations conducted and schools penalized. However, watching the NCAA totally ignore unc's academic fraud committed solely to keep athletes eligible is proof they're hardly even paying lip-service to their own mission statement.

Extra dessert for a recruit remains a violation, though.
