Crewbear is sort of correct in this.  The NCAA is not authorized to make determinations of whether a course is rigorous enough to be considered legitimate. That responsibility rests ultimately with the governing body of the school.  And let’s be honest. A class that is acceptable at Louisville might not past muster at Yale. The NCAA can’t decide a class is “fake” or “real”. And once the UNC Board of Trustees agreed that certain classes were to receive credit regardless of their, let’s say academic rigor, the NCAA had no recourse.  If the guy down the street puts an addition on his house without getting permits you can complain to the building department or maybe zoning.  If they say it’s ok not much you can do.   They have jurisdiction. Doesn’t matter what the Park & rec board says though. In the UNC case the NCAA is the park and rec board. UNC is the building dept.

It was sleazy and wrong but the NCAA had zero authority to say a class is or is not legitimate. And really they can’t hsve that authority.
