Hopefully Donny took it out on the host in a couple different ways……..Donny was too nice still though! Hate to say Roddick is correct in his analysis because McCants is a piece of crap for doing this no matter but nonetheless HE IS, UNC needs to go down!
(Donny is also into the multicolored sox fashion craze obviously too…..yikes!)
If McCants took his education seriously, then UNC would not have had to cheat to cover it up...can't say that loud enuff
Breathtaking perspective. Because a teenager didn't have good judgement, the adults in his life are absolved of responsibility. Ok.
well if your point is Roy should not recruit kids, that suck at algebra.. i see your point. other than that, i don't see whats wrong with holding someone accountable for not holding up their end of the whole student athlete processes, especially when said person is claiming victimization of a system that tried to help get him an education, and win some basketball games. Essentially McCants is saying, yea because i did not take my education seriously, UNC had to cheat to cover it up.. stop treating this kid like a hero.
nope, i hope UNC banned for what they did. i just think its kinda stupid for people to say McCants was taken advantage of, when he won chip, went to the NBA, and over seas to play basketball, and now come out and say he was the victim of anything.. 9 years after the fact, and yea, has book coming out soon about his tragic time at UNC..
So the school recruits kids to come play basketball, and when those kids succeed, the school and administrators and coaches make a lot of money. In return, the athlete is supposed to get an education. Instead, the school cooks up fake classes with no requirements and pushes the kids into them to keep them eligible to play, because that makes them money. And you think it's "kinda stupid" to say he was exploited?
did you read the story? when McCants could not pass algebra and psychology, they put him in fake classes that he was supposed to pass... I went to UConn and i saw how different athletes approached their class work.. if someone is serious about getting a degree, you will get priority on the classes you want to take. You will get the classes that you want, and you get tutors. its not like they force you to take BS classes. If you are there to play sports and thats it, then take all the BS classes you want. McCants wanted to play ball and that's it. He went league, did not work out...he went over seas, didnt work out... his play at UNC got him to those places, so ...if he did not take his actual school work seriously, then who's to blame?? If the culture at UNC is steer the players to BS classes, as opposed to real classes... like i said, ban the out of them. But lets not act like he does not have a choice.
so are you saying he did not improve his draft stock by winning the chip? i know your not that naive
If you look at the first thing I posted on this thread, i was asking the question of, what was McCants beef? it was not that UNC should be cleared of any wrong doing.. but rather what ax does McCants have to grind with UNC, considering he did make it to the league, and won a chip.. i did not know much of his back story
You think it's unreasonable that a young man could look back at his college experience and feel he was cheated out of an education by an institution that created fake classes and phony grades to keep him moving through the machine. I don't.
