Zorro not sure I follow the logic with the importance of athletic department's guilt . Athletic department cheat, in UNC Greek system joined in-Both are equally guilty no?
Triad just an opposing point of view. The Day commitments as sophomore was verbal no real commitment on either side. If the Day twins blew up as Juniors and decided to go to higher level program that was possible. On the UNC side if better players become available UNC is obligated to revaluate. Of course feelings are going to be hurt in the process but especially lately we have heard of more kids de-committing than schools asking them to de-commit. I not going to fault UNC in this instance.
Yes. The NCAA can fire both a pre-emptive strike and a death nail to UNC with a very simple posting on the website " The NCAA will approve/support the application of any UNC scholarship athlete to be immediate eligible in the event of a transfer. "
It really wouldn't make a whole lot of difference, but if in the initial years of this operation it consisted almost entirely of athletes (which I would bet it did) and only later started taking on other students who got hip to what was going on, that would pretty much destroy the argument that it was not specially designed for athletes and that the athletic authorities were in the dark. I am just surprised that, as far as I know, nothing has been disclosed on this question.
Tennessee will be a full go for Gray's recruitment. Strong past connection, strong coach/father relationship and strong Georgia connection. She is too good of player not to pursue.
I agree...and it is very likely that Steph and Allisha will end up at the same school. Actually, I'm willing to say that they'll most definitely end up at the same school. I remember reading a couple of articles (interviews of both girls) expressing how anti-social Gray was until Mavunga was able to get her out of her shell; they're attached at the hip now. I'm excited to see how this all plays out though...
I think the first 10 plus years of the scam/fraud was 100% athletes as they were not classes but independent studies, so each student was in a unique course - the problem was that this raised issues with the Dean and the administration for two reasons - single professors were teaching an unrealistic number of independent studies each semester, and individual students were enrolled in too many independent studies each semester, year, and during their aggregate years at UNC. When the issue was raised around 2000, the department administator then devised the expedient of creating actual 'lecture' courses that followed the same formula as the independent studies courses - no lectures, no meetings, and a single paper. The problem then was that the courses had to be made available to the whole student population and at that point the frat grapevine took over and non-athletes wanting a gut course signed up and could not be excluded.
Is She a pg or 2 guard because Cooper is expected to be the pg of the next few years at TN. Does she want to be the go to player because she knows DD will be at TN. MD needs a scoring guard.
She was part of the class recruited to play with Diamond at UNC- there should be no issues there either.
Who says she has to be a backup? Id put Mavunga at the 4 and Cedes at the 5.Why would Mavunga want to be Russell's backup for her last 2 years? To say nothing about why Tenn needs Gray. I was under the impression that Tenn had great depth at guard for the 3 years?
For the record I support boths side equally in the battle for paranoid supremacy.
But your team has become a threat not only in the SEC but on the National scene as well, you might as well get ready for the nasty comments from other fanbases especially on their home board! Lol
I read Mary Willingham's book (Cheated), and she discloses a lot about the origins of the "paper classes", as well as the alarming complicity at all levels in the academic, athletic and administrative parts of the university. It's very, very compelling, but you just have to believe her though, since the book isn't a legal document.
