Oh Nicky, if only it were that simple.  Academic scandals only impact UCONN and nobody else.  That ol' centuries used, tried-and-true academic stronghold metric, the APR, hurt us in CR.  The problem is that we didn't know that players from the 1900s could be applied towards any year's score that don't meet the minimum requirement.  But don't worry, we made sure to enroll all of our former Huskies who attended the Jim Calhoun Charity Game on Friday in some Intro to Basketball 101 classes before they left Connecticut.

I'd be surprised if UNC is fined $10.  The NCAA's rationale the first go-around was that it was fair since bogus classes were offered to the girls' lacrosse team as well as football/basketball players.  Title IX at its finest, right?  I'm sure the second go-around with McCants' testimony will be dismissed because the "tutors" who wrote papers for the athletes also wrote papers for any student who had $100 to offer.  But make no mistake, UCONN will be watched like a hawk if our APR dips below the perfect 1000 score it got last season.
