6/8/2013 10:49:33 PM

Btw, on all the money going to the PR firm; The whole notion of this not being state money is garbage. If the state or a state organization has access and control of how that money is to be spent, then its the responsibility of the state to spend the money wisely and responsibly and it should be subject to review and consequences. It shouldn't matter that it wasn't raised through taxes.

For instance, what if the state sells land and then spends it all on strippers for the governor, we should just ignore that because it wasn't tax income?

I saw a breif report last night on the money ($500k?) that was spent on PR in the wake of the scandal, and they did a brief recap of the scandal. I think it was on WRAL. It was after the baseball game, so I was buzzed and tired.

6/10/2013 10:21:12 AM

I'm as hopeful as I can realistically be about UNC going down, but I don't read anything in that 25-pg pdf that can't be played off as joking around, considering all that has been overlooked so far. Somebody else needs to talk.

Washington Times

Quote :

"These days, the scandals and missteps and outbreaks of forehead-slapping hypocrisy ripping through the upside-down world of college athletics are frequent enough to provide an NCAA-sized headache. Gordon Gee, the soon-to-be-former Ohio State president, insulted Catholics, the SEC and pretty much everything short of his Mormon faith and beloved Buckeyes during a meeting with the university’s athletic council. Rutgers managed to not just botch the slam-dunk firing of verbally abusive basketball coach Mike Rice, but make things exponentially worse at each sordid turn, including hiring a new athletic director, Julie Hermann, with her own history of questionable conduct toward athletes. Miami football player Dyron Dye filed a police report accusing NCAA investigators of coercing him into incriminating the university’s football program, further muddling a circus-like process that would shame Inspector Clouseau. And there are the words from NCAA president Mark Emmert’s own, well-compensated, student-athlete-spouting mouth 11 months ago: “One of the grave dangers stemming from our love of sports is that the sports themselves can become ‘too big to fail,’ or even too big to challenge. The result can be an erosion of academic values that are replaced by the value of hero worship and winning at all costs. All involved in intercollegiate athletics must be watchful that programs and individuals do not overwhelm the values of higher education.” Remember that? Emmert had just finished turning Penn State’s football program into a smoking crater. Never mind that the Jerry Sandusky sexual abuse scandal didn’t violate a specific NCAA bylaw. The president bypassed the usual enforcement process, imposed unprecedented sanctions and ushered us into the era of the Emmert Doctrine. That’s useful to remember when looking at the NCAA’s nonaction in the sprawling academic scandal festering at North Carolina. The years-old problem isn’t new. Athletes were steered to no-show classes and independent studies in the Department of African and Afro-American Studies, among the laundry list of academic chicanery. Sixty-seven percent of students enrolled in 54 no-show classes were athletes, according to The News & Observer. Some classes didn’t exist. Grades were changed. Over the weekend, the Raleigh newspaper revealed a series of emails between former department Chairman Julius Nyang’oro and the university’s group that tutored athletes. The notes showed a close relationship — Nyang’oro was offered everything from football tickets to the opportunity to watch games from the sideline — that helped guide athletes through the path of least academic resistance. Eligibility, the holy grail of college athletics after the largesse of big-money donors, rules the day. One lengthy exchange described an academic adviser for athletes negotiating with Nyang’oro to create a no-show class that required only a paper at term’s end. Another note from a different staffer read: “I hear you are doing me a big favor this semester and that I should be bringing you lots of gifts and cash???????”’ The stench of academic fraud covers this mess. But where is Emmert? That the scandal is academic and not athletic is irrelevant. The president has already shown a devil-may-care willingness to disregard tradition and intervene at Penn State. There’s no comparison, of course, between a pedophile preying on young boys and the academic mess. But Emmert’s own words, his own made-up doctrine used to justify punishing Penn State for its handling of Sandusky’s off-field depravity necessitates involvement at North Carolina. Listen to the president: “Our constitution and bylaws make it perfectly clear that the association exists not simply to promote fair play on the field, but to insist that athletics programs provide positive moral models for our students, enhance the integrity of higher education and promote the values of civility, honesty and responsibility. The sanctions we are imposing are based upon these most fundamental principles of the NCAA.” He was talking about Penn State. That could easily be North Carolina. There aren’t excuses. Over and over, Emmert pounds the academic primacy of college athletics. Repeating “student-athlete” like some sort of incantation doesn’t make it reality. Not when the NCAA’s entire structure is built on the fallacy of amateurism, the unpaid labor that generates hundreds of millions of dollars each year, free of pesky salaries and workers’ compensation. Take the student away from the athlete and the NCAA is left with a workforce — yes, actual employees — that it can’t use verbal gymnastics to avoid paying. In Emmert’s biography on the NCAA’s website, after swearing athletes will never be paid under his watch, the president adds, “we’re providing athletes with world class educations and world class opportunities.” Does what went on at North Carolina sound “world class”? How much value is the student portion of student-athlete when the athletes are shuffled through a maze designed to keep them eligible, not prepare them for a productive career after athletics? If the lofty-sounding, ear-tickling, salary-dodging ideas about student-athletes are something more than a hypocritical gimmick to keep the money flowing, Emmert’s NCAA will act on North Carolina. The president’s words demand it. Doing nothing would be the real scandal."

scathing article

6/11/2013 10:58:48 AM

Yeah but this along with a lot of the other national articles are tying this into the whole debate of student athlete instead of the fact that they broke the rules. I have no problems with players getting benefits and don't think the same considerations about class etc should be considered especially when they have the crazy time requirements for sports.

But these are the rules as they are now and Carolina has blatantly broken the rules and in fact thumbed their noses at these rules and all the other teams and should be punished because they are cheating and gaining an unfair advantage and that's the only thing that should matter here.

6/11/2013 11:18:01 AM

^Get the fuck out of here with that shit. They're athletes, they're students, very very few of them will go on to make the big bucks in a professional setting, they're not getting degrees in rocket science, the NCAA has strict rules that keep their entire schedule from being filled with practice, they have an entire support staff specifically there to help them succeed.


Every college kid who has had a job while they've gotten a degree has done just as much work with less help. The kids get thousands in tuition, housing, food, training, and a chance to get their skills noticed at the next level.

They get enough.

The NCAA was done with their big sanction when they hammered those fucking paedos. They don't have the political will now to hammer another big program.

Wake Forest was the lowest scoring men's basketball program in the conference with a 942. UNC football was lowest in the ACC and among the bottom 10 schools in all BCS conferences with a 934. NC State football posted their highest ever APR score with a 947. Duke led the ACC football programs in APR for the eighth consecutive year by scoring a 989"

From the SI article:

Quote :

"Given all that, yes, it makes sense to believe the NCAA might want to pay another visit to Chapel Hill. After all, academic fraud is a giant NCAA no-no. But I wouldn't count on it. Ever since the Miami enforcement scandal broke in January, NCAA investigators have been fleeing for other jobs in rapid succession (the latest, veteran higher-up Rachel Newman Baker, took a compliance job at Kentucky this week), and I'm not sure there's anyone left to investigate at UNC or anywhere else."

So we can't watch them burn on account of bad timing?

We weren't castrated for selling shoes and tickets. We were castrated for letting DT play a pickup game that just happen to have a UNC captain playing in it. That probably cost us a National Championship.

Isn't First 48 about murder cases only? Seems like they'd rush those prints especially as the show is named First 48 because of the small window of time you have to solve murders.

That being said - for real, what the fuck? We should know way more by now. Mike and Mike were saying that Roy has to know what happened but won't act on it until it's proven. I can't wait for this to be an agent or booster and indict their basketball program too. They also said PJ was trying to switch seats when he was pulled over.
