Yep, that's where I am. I mean come on, Calipari won a national championship with dudes who went to at most half a semester of classes. Those aren't "student athletes" either and the whole damn nation watched on and cheered. No one gives a fuck about that shit. We want to see UNC burn.10/28/2014 5:02:11 AM |

^ I actually think the Kentucky players finish both semesters of their freshmen year. They might be taking all PE and Bees and Beekeeping classes, but if they don't fully finish those two semesters, Kentucky's APR would be proper fucked and they would be banned from post-season play. 10/28/2014 6:42:22 AM |

herpes will lay low until it senses that you're stressed out (and thus suppressing your immune system). i don't know that cancer works the same way, but i don't know that it doesn't either. 10/28/2014 4:18:31 PM |

hell of a lot easier for an 85 year old man with cancer to give up after the fall of a (relative) empire
not as easy for a 47 year old man, who had been fighting for a year (2 years after being relieved of his coaching duties), to just give up
a bit ironic, given the phrase that Jimmy V is most known for

Two things: 1. Any money a public entity has access and control over should be considered state funds, regardless of whether they come from taxes or not. 2. I'll believe this is coming all from athletics when they start having to cut sports/scholarships. From what I can tell the athletics budget doesn't appear to be hurting even after all these expenses.10/29/2014 11:49:00 AM |

What baffles me is the majority of UNC fans who don't understand the extent of this. They keep saying "it was one or two people who screwed up in their misguided attempt to help struggling athletes" or "just a few people who took easy classes and that's it."
Are they really that stupid? Or just a case of extreme denial? 10/29/2014 12:20:58 PM |

114 of them to be exact. Because that’s how many ACC titles Carolina won from the 92-93 season until the most recent 13-14 season. And as far as I’m concerned they’re all tainted. Those titles are all “ungood and distrue”." |

Quote : | "Q. Carolina has been in the news a lot since the report that was released last week. Have you seen the environment change around campus regarding the student-athletes?
BRICE JOHNSON: No, I haven't. We just move on. I mean, it's not really going to affect us. It's a report. I mean, that's all it is. It doesn't faze me. I mean, it does faze me, but I'm not going to let it faze me. At the end of the day, that happened years ago, and I'm here now, so I have to worry about what's going on now and not worry about what was happening in the past.

Jesus Christ...there was so much twitter backlash and butt hurt from Pat Forde making that innocent Marcus Paige joke that he apparently apologized to UNC SID for it.
In fact, it wasn't even a joke. He merely insinuated that jokes could be made.
