Makes me laugh that APR is a thing that schools get punished for when you can bypass it by giving THAT an A..

^^ nah they came out fine and deserved it. Just pathetic that UNC will basically get off free for this which is a far greater degree of corruption.

I don't get it? Paige is a very intelligent kid. Only Academic AA from the conference this year.

UNC has major systemic issues but he represents what is good about student-athletes.

Well yeah. Who better to trot out as a representative of UNC's "typical" student-athlete?

3/27/2014 5:13:49 PM

^^LOL, there was obviously some copy/paste action going on. People who write about "the evening of December" typically don't know how to randomly punctuate dialogue.

I think it would be hilarious to be the guy who "wrote" that and get to see everybody outraged at your A-.

3/27/2014 9:22:07 PM

Any 80s folks ? Has the embarrassment of the UNC scandal now surpassed what we faced?

3/27/2014 9:22:28 PM

The embarrassment probably has just because of the digital media age we live in. The punishments, not so much. Even though they did far worse, yet we got LOIC.

3/27/2014 9:23:50 PM

No. It's been 25 years and we still hear about amphibious.

3/27/2014 9:24:13 PM

This is the opposite of embarrassing. They broke the most important rules and got away with it cause they're special.

That tl;dr was worth it. UNC can't just PR their way out of this.

4/4/2014 12:51:32 AM

I am sure the BOG/UNC BOT/jock sniffing Ram's clubbers who are calling the shots care deeply about what the retired German and Slavic Literatures professors think.

I seriously think half the current professors are quiet so they don't lose their Dean Dome seats.

Another whitewash website to show how committed they are to "fixing" the issues. I checked it out and so far it doesn't have the words "Banners Coming Down" so its all bullshit.

Are they sure he's the guy who wrote that essay? I thought the Caleb guy meant that in jest.
