http://collegebasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/07/08/rashad-mccants-says-hes-getting-310-million-from-unc-ncaa/

I haven't listened to the quotes, but according to one of the comments, the claim of the story is misleading

Quote :
"Seriously some horrible clickbait here. Read the quote from McCants.

He might get 10 million for himself.

The 300 million would be to facilitate programs so athletes get education they need, and to set programs to make it a reality with McCants working to facilitate this, he isn’t getting a check for 300 million dollars.

Please don’t write such obvious clickbait articles it makes you seem less intelligent and unable to read a quote."

The thing is, at the end of the day, they can stick to the core of their argument which is that it's an academic issue. Sure, there was this completely fucked up department that offered high grades and a worthless degree in exchange for little to no course work. It was still the players decision to take those courses. The thing they have to prove is that the athletics department was forcing student athletes into those courses with the sole intent of keeping them eligible when they otherwise wouldn't have been. It's going to be incredibly hard to prove that in any concrete way. Even the way McCants admitted it doesn't necessarily implicate anyone but himself. Really, like the Penn St. thing, the only way the hammer ever comes down is if the NCAA actually wants it to. No amount of new information will change that.

As much of a BS argument as that is, I am sure that it is what they were banking on when they designed the system.

McCants said that he went to Roy and told him he would not be eligible to play the year the won the national championship before the season started. He said Roy said he would take care of it by getting him into 4 no-show classes and retroactively adding an A to the previous summer's transcript. If what McCants said is true, then that completely destroys any argument they had. The problem is proving it was true. Like Denzel said in Training Day, "it's not what you know, it's what you can prove."

Lots of small pieces if evidence that the athletic dept did do just that, we need a big piece of evidence to push it through though. 2 year old article with Deunta Williams' viewpoint:

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/10/opinion/nocera-football-and-swahili.html?_r=0

Quote :
"Williams, however, had his own set of complaints. Athletes, he said, could only take the classes the athletic department wanted them to take. Coursework couldn’t interfere with practice, of course. It was always better that the classes not be too difficult — otherwise, there might be eligibility problems. And one other thing:

“All the freshman football players take Swahili as their language requirement,” Williams said. Why? Because the athletic department tutors are strong in Swahili. "

We need a Roy Williams email to Nyangaro asking him to setup a "fake" class, asking him to "forge" grades for it later. We need the words "fake" and "grades" and "forge" in a single email for the shit to stick. Get on it, PackPride!

I mean, as ridiculous as it sounds, that's basically what it will take to force the NCAA's hand. Okay, I'd have to see a video of him singing "Pee On You," two forms of government ID, a police officer there to verify the whole thing, four or five of my buddies and Neal taking notes, and R. Kelly's grandma to confirm his identity.

no, PackPride probably has good hackers that could fake that.

We need a recorded webcam chat showing their faces and ID's with notaries public, who are UNC alums, on each side of the conversation verifying the identities of both of them along with an affidavit from both notaries that they are not members of PackPride of the anti-unc media.

I don't think that's how it went down. Apparently he went to Roy the first semester of that year (they were already playing). And the second semester was when he took all of the AfAm classes...the same semester they won the natty.

So I don't know if it really would have mattered for GPA/eligibility reasons...except for the fake that he was taking fake classes in general and probably took those the year before as well.

Quote :
"“Me and Josh Gordon met at the Fresh Market in Chapel Hill,” Hairston described following a Hornets summer-league practice. “I walked there to get food and happened to run into him in there.

“I am a football fan so I knew who he was. Right away, we started talking about football, basketball and we walked outside. He saw my car and asked me “What are you doing?” He asked if I minded if we switched cars and we exchanged numbers and he was going to drive my car that night and bring it back to me.

“I said OK, and we switched cars. The rest of that is history.”...

...“Once I realized that he had connections with people that got me in trouble in the past, I figured it would probably be a problem,” Hairston said."

is the idea to tell a story so ridiculous that people will just accept it instead of trying to figure out how any rational human being would do the same things?

it's a matter of time with hairston. too bad - he's in a position to have more money and notoriety than i'll ever hope to.

Certified dumbass PJ Hairston 'signed' with an agent who is not certified to be an agent

If the Hornets now negotiate with PJ through his agent then they are subject to a 50k fine and the contract is void.

http://www.sportingnews.com/nba/story/2014-07-10/pj-hairston-agent-juan-morrow-fake-not-real-nba-draft-contract-nbpa

Let Packpride dig into Juan Morrow a bit and see if this can of worms leads back to Fats/UNC in any way.

It really never ends

^great article

tl;dr - a history professor at UNC says players denouncing McCants are doing so while hypocritically guarding their own transcripts but Wainstein will be looking at them. Says that Roy's academic director that he brought with him from Kansas and his relationship with Roy/the players should be scrutinized more. He says Roy has to have known, but he plays it off in the media based on the treatment he's used to getting from the press and the lack of journalistic curiosity in the area. He questions whether it will hold out for much longer, or if the truth will be exposed.
