This is probably regarding the same scandal. Affecting both sports, and others.
And then there was the whole African American Studies, or AFAM, thing. An entire major that had essentially fake classes to keep athlete's GPAs up.
STILL waiting on the hammer to come down. It will be nonsense if it doesn't.
If they dont get punished over all this and Duke does over that little Lance Thomas thing... I may be done with college sports.

If Penn St got sanctions, there is no reason UNC shouldn't.

I don't think it's fair to compare it to Penn State, at all.
But yes, they definitely should be punished for this bullshit

But yes, they definitely should be punished for this bullshit I'm not comparing this scenario to what happened at Penn St. What happened at Penn St was way worse. I'm just saying this is a very punishable offense, like the Penn St scandal was. It would be completely unfair to Penn St if UNC got away with ANOTHER scandal. Mark Emmert (the CEO of the NCAA) has ties to the the Unversity of North Carolina and many believe that is why the UNC basketball scandal that was uncovered about 5 or so months ago, never got the punishment it deserved. If this gets a freebie also, Emmert should definitely be fired. That won't happen though. We'll just have to deal with his hypocrisy until he gets resigns. I would be really pissed if this doesn't get dealt with. This is what? A booster giving money to players? That is the same thing the Fab Five got hit with. If the NCAA punished the Fab Five, there is no reason UNC shouldn't get hit.

Its not just Emmert with UNC ties. The Commissioner of the ACC went to UNC, and idk his name but a high up at ESPN did as well.
No wonder they though they could get away with cheating.
You all know the AFAM thing has been going on since the 90s right???
