Not a Joke: NCAA Will Announce UNC Penalties 10/13/17!

[ctchamps]

Yep Friday the 13th! Buried in the other thread so many of you may have given up on any announcement.
Link: NCAA Will Release UNC Infractions Report Friday


So it's 50/50 for me. NCAA wants to bury this story by announcing on Friday because sanctions are weak or because they are already under the public microscope from the FBI probe and don't want the issues commingled.

 

[Guapo]

I don't believe it.

Just be prepared to be disappointed.

According to the article, the only athletic program that was specifically named is:
2. Academic counselor Jan Boxill provided extra benefits by way of impermissible academic assistance and special arrangements to women's basketball players from 2003-2010
While it does mention the overall athletic department several times, the men's basketball, football, soccer etc was not singled out
I will be PO'd if they get a slap on the wrist
Anything short of loss of NC(s), scholarships, a multiple year sanction from NCAA tournament is just that

The mere fact that they decided to once again pick Friday to announce penalties, tells you all you need to know. The punishment will be light if anything at all. They could have announced any day this week, but they go and choose Friday again, hoping everyone forgets over the wknd.

Looks like this will be released at 10:00 (as long as that's still convenient for UNC).

They will lose a national championship. They had 3000 students take sham courses and the grades from those is the reason basketball players were even eligible to play during the run. I know it's no APR violation but let's be serious.

It's still a joke. If I'm their women's golf team I'm worried.

 

[Travelman6]

It will be a slap on the wrist. If that.

Pathetic.

 

[UConnJim]

It will be a slap on the wrist. If that.

Pathetic.

A slap on the wrist for UNC probably means that Louisville will be hit hard.

It's a really, really bad look for the NCAA if they don't come down hard on UNC for this. The only problem with that is the NCAA doesn't really care much about their appearance.

 

[Dogdeacon]

For whatever reason today I feel like the NCAA is dropping the hammer. On the heels of the ridiculous commission, tar & feathering Carolina would show serious intent to reform.

That said, the over/under line is at double secret probation.

As I posted before...they should have had Emily Litella come to a podium and say..."Never mind!!:. Followed by a giggle and a curtsey.

Exit stage left.


Now, let's go Yankees!!!!!

Shorter NCAA:
"We'd rather see UNC make fake classes available to their entire student population, than see UConn have student-athletes do poorly in real classes."

Kudos to the professors at UConn for having academic standards, and to the coaches and athletic department for making the necessary changes to see that our athletes have the support needed to perform in the classroom.

The NCAA is a joke.

 

[SellersElbow]

I think the title of this thread should be edited to:
"NCAA Will Announce NO UNC Penalties"

Also, it is a joke at this point.

Open encouragement of fraud and cheating. Can't be framed any other way.

Many long believed UNC wouldn't be punished, but once they landed their most recent 5 star recruit, there should have been no doubts this was the result. I'm sure UNC knew this was coming, and relayed the same to the recruit.
