Message: [QUOTE="UcMiami, post: 2211496, member: 199"] There are certainly documented cases at UNC where specific grade requirements were communicated for specific athletes which brings home the fraud and lays it at the feet of the AD - but the ones I know of are specific to the WCBB program. At the same time there is the presentation made to the men by the head of the academics advisors indicating they had a serious problem finding a new way to keep athletes eligible once the courses in the department were exposed. In addition, many of the fraudulent courses were in fact 'independent study' courses - the issue of one professor 'overseeing' an inordinate number of those 'courses' in a single semester forced some changes to the way the 'program' was run - so I am not sure how 'other students' could have been eligible for those specific 'independent studies'? I do get what UNC is trying to say, but there is also a general requirement that athletic programs and coaches maintain overall responsibility for the conduct of their program - with 1000s of hours of fraudulent credits for athletes the situation is not the same as a few athletes discovering a gut course, or some misguided local businessman supplying free food or clothes to a specific athlete.
