These national stories are getting me pumped

8/13/2012 1:52:47 PM

this is a perfect instance of me hating the player, but not hating the game

8/13/2012 1:53:48 PM

Scathing article from sporting news. Most direct calling of Carolina as cheaters I've seen outside of the affiliated (eg. PackPride, Statefans, etc.) media.

8/13/2012 2:03:44 PM

I was all excited about this until one of my Facebook friends reminded me that we were cheaters too because of the purvis situation.

8/13/2012 2:04:35 PM

man oh man aint nothing finer
more cheatin found at north carolina


^ wait, what? decades of fake classes and fake degrees are ignored, but WE are cheaters because a RECRUIT'S HS has been questioned?

I love how we've supposedly cheated with a player who hasn't played a game yet

8/13/2012 2:07:50 PM

^that and it isn't a matter of wrongdoing. It's a matter of standard NCAA procedure checking the paperwork and program of a new high school that an athlete of any college would have to go through.

That's like calling every freshman a cheater because the NCAA sends them all through the clearinghouse.

whenever they'd introduce Peppers on Monday/Sunday Night Football, he'd usually say something like "Julius Peppers, Bailey" instead of his college

maybe this season he'll say "Julius Peppers, Independent Studies in AFAM" or something equally hilarious

8/13/2012 2:10:55 PM

or maybe he will say something hilarious like "Julius Peppers, TOO DUMB TO PASS ALGEBRA"



also, i'm gonna need someone to make a popcorn-eating-smiling-boner.gif please. thanks.

he did graduate high school. what a bunch of tards.

the NCAA is validating the school because that is first graduating class of the school.

i wish i had taken precalc in 12th grade instead of computer science

i mean, not really, but it wouldve made MA141 a little easier

8/13/2012 4:20:12 PM

Maybe I took pre-algebra in 6th grade. Who knows.

pre-calc was 10th grade, tree. C'mon man.

8/13/2012 4:23:01 PM

I took ap calc as a jr in highschool

the only person in that class that wasn't a senior

they bullied me mercilessly

i dunno what year it was, i just know it was in high school and i had the option of precalc or computer science

8/13/2012 4:28:55 PM

I took precalc freshman year at state. Maybe I shouldn't say I was slow.

Yeah, it's crazy. If you don't do what is required to get an incomplete changed to a grade by the end of the next semester (that's how it was at state at least) it automatically becomes an f.

I got a little bit aroused reading that SN article. This was my favorite part:

Quote :

"we haven’t heard squat from him about what will become the worst infractions case in the history of college sports. And that was before the latest mind-numbing details released Monday by the News & Observer: the gross case of academic fraud could go back a decade—and include North Carolina’s legendary men’s basketball program."

Drool.

8/13/2012 4:43:01 PM

I enjoyed the article, but my problem is with the tone the writer used. He comes across as angry and spiteful (if he is, it's justifiable), but pair that attitude with repeated references to Emmert as "Mr. Big Stick" makes him come across a bit childish. My concern is that the writing style may allow "serious" people at the NCAA or UNC to try and brush it off as garbage journalism.

For instance, the Yahoo! Sports guy that published two articles on the various scandals focused more on the facts and laid them out so that the reader was like, "holy shit that IS bad," and it seemed to create more ripples. All that being said, I've read it a couple times now.
