Message: [QUOTE="CL82, post: 5265001, member: 44"] Nice summary. The only thing that I would add is that according to my recollection, UNC told the NCAA that the issue was an academic issue and thus out of their purview. Essentially, universities have the right to set their own criteria, and as long as the university doesn't apply that criteria in consistently the athletes… Whatever it is, it is. Yet when they got their academic review, they said that the fake classes were entirely an athletic issue and thus outside of the purview of the board reviewing its academics. Yep, they took directly contradictory positions between the two reviewing organizations saying that each lacked jurisdiction to review the issue. Both accepted that because the consequences to UNC for academic and athletic fraud would've caused blowback to them. Instead, they just looked the other way. [/QUOTE]
