that fucker always plays the angles.

the cheating started from 2005

roy took over in 2003

I think putting retards on the honor roll problably raised a few flags

The NCAA confirms they are reopening their probe into UNC based on the possibility of new information from previously uncooperative individuals.

"The University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, was cited by the Division I Committee on Infractions in 2012 for violations in its athletics program, including academic misconduct. As with any case, the NCAA enforcement staff makes clear it will revisit the matter if additional information becomes available. After determining that additional people with information and others who were previously uncooperative might be willing to speak with the enforcement staff, the NCAA has reopened its investigation. The enforcement staff is exploring this new information to ensure an exhaustive investigation is conducted based on all available information. The NCAA will not comment further to protect the integrity of the investigation."

Translation? The NCAA wants to talk to Crowder and Nyang'oro which means what they say will determine where this goes. If one or both of them reveal a link between AFAM and athletics then this could turn into an NCAA violations case of epic proportions given the length of time involved. If not then the NCAA can close the case again but with the "we will continue to monitor" caveat.

On one level this could be a PR move to ease the pressure the NCAA has been getting for not having responded to hyperbolic headlines and rantings of Willingham/Smith. Still, this is clearly an official look at the academic scandal versus UNC simply keeping the NCAA updated on the various findings. In that respect, UNC has lost some control of how this unfolds not to mention it seems unlikely the NCAA goes this route and walks away without doing something.

At any rate, a banner day no doubt for Dan Kane, Pack Pride and the stable of national writers

It's gonna be funny once this investigation goes full circle. When we first started posting on CNN/SI all the buzz was about 1K in a Fed Ex package delivered to UK. The Heel fans used this for many years. Gonna be fun watching them on the defensive. So far they look like pussies.

It was only $1K? I thought it was much more than that. Mills' price was cheap...or maybe not because I think he went to Arizona instead.

Might have been 10. It was a while ago so 1 seemed to fit.

Shaun Livingston just agreed to $16 million over 3 years with the Golden State Warriors

ESPN should do a 30 for 30 on this, dude's knee was shredded & torn apart

Good for him

dislocated his knee cap and tore four ligaments in his left knee in 2007.

no I'm pretty sure it was only $1k

Yep. A G.

part of why they think its a setup is because we would have sent alot more than $1K to Chris Mills.

not instead, but after. UK as a freshman, transferred to Az. after sanctions. Has the only recorded triple-double in UK history.

still maintain the $1K was a UCLA booster set-up

PLUS the fact that he was just in Lexington the week before....if the kid told the staff that he needed 1K bucks, i'm sure they could've managed to get their hands on it to personally hand it to him before he boarded the plane, not "Well, you're certainly worth it. give me a couple of days to lay my hands on that kind of dough, and i'll mail it to you next week"

I do admire how UK fans take umbrage not at being accused of cheating, but at the implication that they would have done it so stupidly...

Kansas, Providence, Texas, UNC, UCLA and Louieville all on the non-conference schedule. Doubt there's a tougher non-conference schedule out there.

before this is all said and done, I think McCants is going to cost Roy Williams his job.

Firing Willingham was the dumbest fucking move UNC could have made. I said as soon as they cut her loose she was going to unload and now she is.

With McCants and her collaborating, its clear from the story they have that Williams was driving the bus on the eligibility issue and that letter from the UNC players is going to come back and haunt them. They are both dumping on Williams right now.

He cant coach anwyay.

who's unc's next coach? do they stay in the family, or would that present too much of a business as usual appearance?

with the shape Dean is in, they go outside the family. Sean Miller is 1. Celtic's Coach is 1A.

Let's hope they don't get Miller...

They better leave Brad alone in Boston. He is the next IU coach damn it!!
