WE CAREToo everyone moaning about UConn's penalty in comparison. Too bad no one cares.
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.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.
Go back and reread that post now. You saw only the first paragraph. We're in agreement.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.
#toobigtofailThe 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!!!!!!
It's called corruption, they make DC look like a bastion of integrity.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
They're bad at a lot of things, I would say they are pretty damn good at corruption.Utterly amazing.
Don't call it an extra benefit. Call it academic fraud.
They're just so bad at this.
Do you really think that obvious analysis escaped them in favor of a much more tortured, 'well you can commit academic fraud so long as it is a benefit available to every student?'Utterly amazing.
Don't call it an extra benefit. Call it academic fraud.
