NCAA: Committee on Infractions could not conclude UNC violated NCAA rules

[J-dog]

What a clown show... The NCAA should charge itself with lack of institutional control... Complete overhaul is coming but nothing will really change.

 

[Letsgohuskies11]

wow....... just wow....I dont want to give the NCAA a dime of my money

 

[Jimdish255]

By framing UNCs issue as a "benefits issue" rather than "an ineligible player issue" The NCAA gave itself wiggle room not to punish North Carolina. The unescapable truth is

So all those players who the University knew and funnelled into taking fake classes are considered eligible by the NCAA just because they padded the classes with a few non-athletes? Emmert's arrogance and greed knows no bounds of ethics.

Wonder what this means for Louisville?

 

[Leebo]

Can't wait to see those student-athlete ads they always run during the tournament.

 

[RayIsTheGOAT]

Wait wait wait, this literally makes no sense.

Doesn't the players GPA contribute to the APR? If the students were taking fraudulent classes that boosted their GPA, doesn't that mean they are reporting a fraudulent APR?

And what's worse, a low APR or a fake APR?

Am I missing something here?

What an absolute load of horse****. Actually.

Too everyone moaning about UConn's penalty in comparison. Too bad no one cares.

 

[gtcam]

I am speechless
UConn gets hit for a BS reason and here we have proven case
And nothing
The NCAA deserves EVERYTHING bad that can possibly happen to them
Emert can fry in hell

 

[CL82]

So, does anyone else wonder why North Carolina was so insistent that the NCAA not release a report that would be entirely vindicate them right before a fundraising event? One has to wonder what happened over the last week.

WE CARE

 

[Ricker]

I am actually speechless to find the correct swear words which depict the proper outrage. The NCAA finds violations in ridiculous things like Geno setting up an ESPN Tour for Maya Moore, that was frequently offered to the public, and turns around and blesses sham courses to keep athletes eligible, where being a student athlete is supposedly the core of the NCAA's self righteous purity. And in the same breath, the head of this swamp has the balls to organize a commission..... Begs the question why North Carolina would not have wanted this release last week. Clearly the NCAA wanted to get their commission established before the release so they could pretend ....

Like a famous women often said;

NEVERMIND

 

[EdgewoodNHV]

Un. Believable.

I mean not really.

It makes me so angry. Why didn't we think to just use fake classes? It's tempting to want to sue the NCAA into the ground, but we know how that went last time.

 

[ConnHuskBask]

Nothing will happen. With Louisville Pitino is fired, but nothing will happen either.

It's all a joke.

The NCAA is just one, big, massive joke.

Seth Greenberg praising UNC for winning a championship in the face of the investigation. Tool

 

[EBonz30]

This proves without a shadow of any doubt that UConn was punished incredibly excessively for their APR.

This is offensive to all the students who bust their asses to get good grades at UNC too.

The overall lack of integrity shown by the NCAA here is just another embarrassment. Maybe they should have let the FBI handle this one, too.

We’ve all known for a long time that the NCAA is a selective disciplinary group, nice to see the FBI kick some ass, hopefully they can continue so all of the fraud comes to a stop.

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

Breathing a sigh of relief that UConn has escaped punishment in this matter.

 

[borninansonia]

I feel like boycotting all NCAA events, but I don't want to punish myself by not watching the UCONN men and women basketball.

This non-action by the ncaa is not good for the future of college sports. but they don't care, they get their money now.

Go back and reread that post now. You saw only the first paragraph. We're in agreement.

 

[UConnStats]

Jim Calhoun could probably knock Floyd Mayweather out right now. Like a mother lifting a car to save her baby.

Dear Mr. Emmert,

It is with the utmost sincerity that I kindly ask you to shove the NCAA Student-Athlete handbook right up your own butt hole.

The APR angle is a good one.

Email to NCAA: Hello, we need new direction on filing APR scores. Are fake numbers now permissable?

Response: You will get the death penalty for knowingly submitting fake APR scores.

Email to NCAA: Sorry, I should have been clearer. What I meant is, can our professors issue fake grades which are then calculated into a fake APR score?

Response: Only if you don't know the grades are fake.

Email to NCAA: Let me rephrase. If the professor issues fake grades but doesn't tell us they are fake, can we use them?

Response: Only if there are regular kids in the class.

Email to NCAA: And, let's say hypothetically, we are caught using fake grades for the APR, through no fault of our own (only the professor is culpable), can we still use the fake grades in our APR even though we admitted they were fake?

Response: Good question. Let me check with Emmert!!!!!!

 

[Dogdeacon]

As if the hypocrisy of college sports wasn't obvious enough, NCAA sends clear message that the system is rigged and those that most benefit & control this rigged system can simply do whatever the scalfucklito they want.

Definitely in comparison to UConn ridiculous & salt in the wound that in this case they make a point to apply penalties adopted AFTER the violations versus in UConn's cased imposing rules retroactively.
