University of Louisville hires top campus lawyer from UNC-Chapel Hill

Was their principal attorney during the years the cheating took place.
Looks like the Cards want to get in on the fun.

I saw that - her claim to fame re the scandal was denying freedom of information requests and then defending those denials in court (where she lost.) I don't think she likely had any idea about the classes, and I am not sure blame really attaches to her role in the cover-up since that is her 'job'. But I am sure she is happy to get out of the fire!

I think she knew the deal and didnt wanna be a part of it... post-season bans etc.

I highly doubt that had anything to do with it.

She was following Tia Cooper to UNC. When Cooper de-committed from UNC, she was bummed out and waited for Cooper to commit to UT, then xfer out of UNC and followed her to UT.

Academics had nothing to do with it.

interesting observations at this time

Oh yes! I don't think any judge is going to toss a lawsuit like this again at least prior to discovery. UNC and the NCAA got some 'splaining to do!

And now they must do their 'splaining under oath. Nothing like the power of subpoenas to encourage miscreants at all levels to "fess up."

This massive and sustained academic fraud is disgusting. The McAdoo lawsuit maybe the first of many -- think about thousands of graduates whose degrees may lose their former prestige once UNC's very accreditation is undermined by this scandal.

Yes, the scandal at PSU was an outrage. Now would someone please explain what this has to do in any way, shape or form with the outrageous scandal at UNC? Does it really matter whether one is worse than the other? Does the behavior of the involved individuals at PSU in any way affect the culpability of the involved individuals at UNC? If so, how? And if not, why in the name of common sense do people insist on dragging the PSU case into a thread about UNC? Really, what is the point?

Because academics the situation at UNC is something the NCAA is, actually, supposed to insure is managed for the student athletes and competitive fairness.

The NCAA is probably too busy checking the air pressure of footballs to be concerned about some triviality like academics.

Diamond wanted to leave before last season started and was begged to stay. She wanted to come to Tennessee for a long time but Pat stepping down threw her off kilter with her decision. She has mentioned this a few times in interviews.

She was recently name student athlete of the month so she is proving to be a great student. She mentioned once how much she still had to figure out as far as balancing everything when she got to Tennessee. Apparently it wasn't as challenging at UNC.

I've always been suspicious of programs that brag about 100% graduation rates for their athletes, particularly at schools that are not known as being academically rigorous, and, where sports is an exceptionally important factor in the school's reputation.

Roy gets his golden parachute. In the midst of the fray, with Roy's contract already having another 3 years left on it, Bubba just extended him through 2020.
