Would you rather see: A) UNC vacates all wins/banners from the last 20 years B) UNC has a post season ban for the next 20 years C) UNC has heavy scholarship reductions (say ~50%) for the next 20 years
You can only pick 1

Not just titles would come down, final four banners as well, and acc championships.

While I can't really get excited about vacated wins...However, I can get pretty excited about vacated national championships. That's some straight up embarrassing shit. Then again, I'd love to see them fuckers have the death penalty dropped on the entire athletic department....after all, this is department wide. Not limited to one or two sports.
All that said, I'm still not getting my hopes up for any additional NCAA action. We'll see though. I'd love to be wrong. 10/23/2014 6:06:19 PM |

I'm not sure if "death penalty" is an official NCAA term or anything..but everybody refers to what SMU football got as the "death penalty". And that was only the football program. It banned them from playing football for a year.

Well this is all of SMU's punishment.
Quote : | "As a result:
- The 1987 season was canceled; only conditioning drills (without pads) were permitted until the spring of 1988. - All home games in 1988 were canceled. The NCAA allowed SMU to play their seven regularly scheduled away games so that other institutions would not be financially affected and so that SMU could avoid uninsurable default liabilities to those schools if its failure to uphold the contractual obligation to appear for competition was not beyond the school's control. The university ultimately chose to cancel the away games as well and to accept the uninsured "failure to appear" liability. - The team's existing probation was extended to 1990, resulting in essentially two full years of lost appearance, broadcast media, and advertising sponsorship income. Its existing ban from bowl games and live television was extended to 1989. - SMU lost 55 new scholarship positions over 4 years. - The team was allowed to hire only five full-time assistant coaches instead of the typical nine. - No off-campus recruiting was permitted until August 1988, and no paid visits could be made to campus by potential recruits until the start of the 1988–89 school year." |

Sayer now with sarcasm 9841 Posts user info edit post |
The punishment should be AT LEAST the Death Penalty™. What UNC did goes beyond anything uncovered in college athletics including SMU (I don't consider Penn St in the same boat because the nature of what happened was so entirely different). Every team with a player kept eligible by these classes has to vacate all wins and titles. Scholarships in every sport that was impacted by these classes should be reduced and revoked. Recruiting in all effected sports should be restricted. Every academic and athletic employee of the University tied to this scandal should be fired. Competition in any of these sports should be cancelled, and the athletes dispersed into the wind.
The only appropriate punishment for what has been done is to burn the fucking house to the ground and salt the earth.
This is literally the exact scenario the Death Penalty™ exists for; systemic, sustained academic fraud for the sake of athletic accomplishment. If the NCAA doesn't drop that bomb, then everyone should just start cheating immediately, because it will never be appropriately punished. 10/23/2014 6:54:46 PM |

honestly, and i'm not the first to say this, they deserve to have their accreditation questioned. i'm sure they won't have it revoked, but this is really bad from an academics perspective as well.

DeltaBeta All American 9417 Posts user info edit post |
I've seen it mentioned a couple of times, although the context was more in the area of having their accreditation officially reviewed, rather than pulled entirely, and possibly removing the accreditation of the specific colleges/programs (AFAM and whichever others) involved. 10/23/2014 7:09:46 PM |

Yeah, that's the first thing that comes to mind in all of this. How did the AFAM department get accredited? How are they currently maintaining accreditation? Getting accreditation is a serious process. If the AFAM department skates then how does the entity that gives accreditation not suffer damage to their reputation? Edit: and accreditation occurs at the department level, "UNC" isn't going to lose accreditation.
Yes, it's cases like this that really define future direction. If this was a smaller school you can bet that the NCAA would make a public example out of them. UNC? I doubt much will be done. They've already been punished in the eyes of the NCAA.
I do agree though. When UNC skates every school under the NCAA umbrella should start implementing programs to do exactly what UNC did to recruit and keep athletes eligible.
What I really expect to see: More smoke and mirrors, shifting the narrative back to the topic of global amateurism in collegiate sports. Failing that, "everyone does it" so we need to reform the whole. UNC becomes the victim of the system and the system must be punished.

Yeah, athletes everywhere do take easy classes, deadline leniency, extra help from tutors, things like that. That's a far cry though from what was going on at UNC. It's amazing, it's been clear for a while now that athletics ruled the roost over there, but the sheer brazenness of it all is what gets me. It's like they didn't even think this was wrong or out of the ordinary. 10/23/2014 7:59:57 PM |

I think we all expect athletes to get leniency. That's a far cry from the administration blatantly cheating on their behalf. 9 people have been fired I think and UNC have lost one chancellor over this. That is beyond just leniency for athletes. You have 20 years' worth of graduates from one major that their degree for most of them is considered pretty much worthless at this point, whether they are an athlete or not. An individual cheating is an isolated case with little relevance to the surroundings. The people running the department set this up, that affects all students that have gone through.
