NCAA: Academic fraud to keep players eligible is cool with us

  • They're refusing to do anything about the UNC academic scandal because it is "out of their jurisdiction". Check the link.

  • I said before and I still believe it. Mark Emmert used his position to get a piece of retribution for his good friend Vicky Triponey over her forced resignation at Penn State.

    Vacating the wins makes no sense, the "culture" of football? That's almost exactly what she said in an interview.

  • Penn State: Commit zero NCAA violations that would give football an onfield advantage, or a recruiting advantage, and went above and beyond NCAA requirements regarding academics = culture problem and 4 year post-season ban and draconian scholarship cuts

    UNC: have about a decades worth of recruiting violations, and now academic fraud to keep players eligible = slap on the wrist.

  • They can't bury UNC and PSU in the same month....

    Especially not with his big power grabbing vote happening in October..

    And with Wake's president as the current chair.....

    Burying UNC would bury the ACC.

    If basketball was the money maker, it could. But football is the money maker, and UNC is a non-factor there.

  • Sean, I apologize for the language that i am about to use:

    What the f*ck is going on here..?! How the f*ck are they not getting branded by the media and not gettin any f*cking sanctions..?! Culture..?! U f*cking maggots, OURS didnt have anything to do with the NCAA.. We get stabbed multiple times in the gut, but UNC gets to go home with a lollipop.. I dont understand what is happening.. How come the media isnt branding UNC and embarassing them on national TV like they did to PSU..?! I think my head is going to explode..!!!

    Serious question: Cant we use this to help our case..?? Like in some way, shape or form..?

    P.S - I am done venting Sean, so if you want to delete this post, then go right ahead..

    Basketball is the top money maker for the NCAA. Remember they get the revenue from 'The Tournament,' and UNC is one of the top programs. As is Syracuse.

    NCAA sees little cash from big time football.

    Also, NCAA has an interest in bringing the big 4 conferences down a few notches. Killing 2 premier ACC programs (SU & UNC), would only accelerate the ACC's marginalization in football - and NCAA'a relevance as a result.

  • I only come on here because I am surrounded by PSU fans in my office and a couple of them come on here, so I like to keep up with what they are reading so we can "discuss".

    Someone above said what PSU did gave them no advantage. Well, obviously the crimes gave no advantage. But the cover up indeed did. It kept the PSU image squeaky clean. Have you seen the letter that McQueary (McQueary!!) sent to every recruit during the OSU scandal? Just google mike mcqeary recruiting letter. If that's not a competitive advantage, I am not sure what is.

    And this whole thing about basket weaving classes for athletes to take? Come on, this doesn't happen everywhere? The author (a PSU grad by the way-I am sure you all know that) even stated that back when she was in State College everyone knew the easy classes to take (Geology 101, Rocks for Jocks was one of them).

    If a football player (or field hockey player) wants to waste their free ride and take golf and basket weaving, that's their problem. Some use it much more wisely.

    UNC has done nothing wrong here. If you are arguing that you all want the NCAA to now dictate what classes kids should be taking, then I really am confused. I thought we wanted less involvement (even nuclear destruction) of the NCAA committee.

    EDIT: I had only read Oneil's rant when I posted this. After reading Pickeral's piece---YES it's academic fraud and I am sure the NCAA will get involved.

    The class didn't even exist. There was no professor teaching the class but yet they still got credit for it.
