Message: [QUOTE="crewbear742, post: 2359576, member: 7435"] The Athletic Dept is under no obligation to vet the quality of classes offered by the University. These classes were not created for the sole exclusive purpose of maintaining the eligibility of athletes. They were available to the general student body. The fact that advisers directed athletes towards these classes proves nothing more than the advisers were acting as academic advisers. These are accreditation issues, and the NCAA does not have the standing to judge them. University presidents didn't want the NCAA mucking around in their sandbox. This is the basic case that UNC will trot into Federal Court, and it agrees very well with the NCAA rule book. If there is any financial bite to these sanctions, the lawyers are going to get involved quickly. [/QUOTE]
