I've always begrudgingly accepted the whimsical and often subjective enforcement actions of the NCAA. But the latest (in)action regarding rampant, wide-spread, and undeniable academic fraud at UNC really scares me the sh*t out of me. A writer (I'll try to find the article) drew the perfect juxtaposition today: UNC gets a complete pass for essentially manufacturing grades over a period of years in order to keep athletes eligible, yet UCONN cannot participate in the NCAA tournament because its team as a collective unit fell below minimum academic standards. The point being, if UCONN just invented no-show courses for its players, then the team would be eligible for post season play. The NCAA has now jumped the shark, and I loathe to think what that means for Miami in the coming months.

There is no rationalizing anything the NCAA does.

You can't compare cases because the NCAA just makes up **** as they go along.

hopefully they have begun to sign their own death warrant as more and more people start to notice their inability to do their job.. and the fact that certain schools which bring alot of money to the NCAA will be able to get away with whatever they want to make millions in money for a bunch of rich white guys who never played sports who don't allow an underprivileged kid's coach to buy them a meal or a plane ticket home.....

The UNC case really takes the cake. This is the biggest case of academic fraud in NCAA history, but because UNC is a protected brand, they just decided to give them a pass.
 
Anyone who knows anything about NCAA rules knew what the result would be. Those are the rules. No sense in getting mad about it. The NCAA can't set the curricula at every member institution. Why anyone would think the result of this part of the UNC investigation has anything to do with UM is beyond me.

But the NCAA set a precedent with Penn State. No rules were broken there, but they imposed sanctions. No, UNC didn't enable a pedophile, nut they made a mockery of everything the NCAA claims to stand for. This case was serious enough for them to make a statement, but they refused to do anything.

you mofos make me laugh. lookin for anything to get your panties all wadded up over.

we got Donna greasin the wheels. we skatin. those mofos aint got ****
 
So in a case where the ncaa has ample evidence and finds no wrong doing, means that in case where they have 0 evidence (none of shaprio's claims have yet to be corroborated by all reports) outside the 8 players and two coaches totaling 4500 in benefits that we're gonna get hammered?

We'll get a few schollies reduced on top of the punishments we've administered ourselves.

I've been told that mood within our program is a bit darker than it was in the beginning re: the investigation.

Take it FWIW but we are probably alone in saying 'we skate'. I am preparing myself for tough sanctions and im pretty sure to feel persecuted by the time it's all said and done.
 
The NCAA = Communism/Socialism There are protected statuses and then there are the rest of us. Some schools are more equal than others. Once you understand that mindset, the NCAA rules, committees, and subcommittees make a lot more sense. Everything they do and have done was designed by academic elite and they do not like their boat rocked. You'll get in line, and you will like it. Do not look for common sense or sensibility within their guidelines.

From a basic understanding of the situation...... The NCAA came in and ran complete investigation of UNC for completely different infractions(Agents) but missed the academic fraud scandal during the coarse of their investigation. Do you really think that they are going to come out now and say our investigators are incompetent and we are now going to hand out even more penalties(Opps Sorry)....... I really doubt that the NCAA Infractions Committee is going to inflict a "Black Eye" upon themselves.......

FWIW, that's kinda the opposite of communism/socialism. Fascism, maybe. Or even good ol' capitalism, where the ones with money (the SEC, ND, etc) get off easy and the ones without get screwed.
