Level 1 charges....unlike Miami, they will get toasted, I think.

Unless they have the same set of compromising photos that Shalala must have had to blunt the boats and ho's fiasco.
 
Still not sure how Roy Williams who was the 'captain' of the UNC basketball ship during a a majority of this time period kept his name almost entirely out of the report.

Either it happened completely without his knowledge, which would make him staggeringly incompetent, or he's engineered the whole thing so well that it doesn't touch him. In either case, he really needs to be fired.

Roy Williams was just working towards UNC's inclusion in the SEC.

As Charles Barkley said "We're in the SEC, if you aren't cheatin, you ain't tryin."

Even though I understand how that happened, I'll never understand how that happened. It's a reminder that NCAA is arbitrary and unaccountable.

I always worked in environments that viewed legal action/lawsuits as a last resort; and then only in cases involving intellectual property and/or infringement. I learned that the guy yelling about suing was probably trying to cover his own shortcomings.

But, I'm still steamed about the unfairness of UCONN's APR related punishment; steamed enough to, if I worked at UCONN, react violently to any "wrist slap" type ornamentation 'n NCAA might choose as UNC's punishment.

I'd call Skadden, Arps, et al (worked on NCAA stuff) and see if we could get an NCAA person, under oath, to explain the punishment logic associated with UCONN's (honestly reported bad grades on real subjects leading to abysmal APR's) vs UNC's (many years and players with phony courses and, therefore, phony grades leading to appropriate APR's and player eligibility). The logic applied to each case would be interesting as all hell. Funny, too, I'll bet.

that doesn't mean that his teams or record won't be penalized
