Much of the 13-page report describes an athletics program that has too much control over athletes, and not enough effort by the university to make sure athletes are getting a full educational experience. The authors noted that the admissions office under its current director has never rejected a student athlete with a subpar academic record that has received a recommendation from a special advisory committee.

I'm sure Stu, Hedge, Goldie etc are glad this whole thing is just a figment of my fevered imagination.

You finally got over that hamburger fight with AA, huh?

nah, got bored. figured I'd check back in. you doing alright?

I'm doing ok, you?

eh. any day above ground is a good day.

For some.

heh. you going to Atlanta on the 31st?

I wish, I'm scheduled to be out of the country. You?

BTW, good to have you back.

thanks. I'm trying to make it. depends on finances.

"You finally got over that hamburger fight with AA, huh?

What a coincidence that your return just happened to coincide with some "scandal" involving UNC athletics. But I'm sure it was just boredom...

a scandal that's been going on for two years? yeah. that was it.

Wow, according to that article, right there in the heart of the "scandal", the number of basketball players majoring in AA Studies was 3 of 11 (2006), 3 out of 15 (2007) and 2 out of 11 (2008). Scandalous....

so your defense is that in a best case scenario only approximately 20% of your basketball team were majoring in a fraudulent curriculum. yeah. go with that one.

if its a legitimate program then no big deal

however there would seem to be some concern that this program was setup for guys to not even show up for class - similar to the Jim Harrick Ga scandal.

If that is the case...Carolina should go down in flames.

The issue is that the NCAA has no desire to go after UNC..especially regarding an "African American studies" program

Good news! Pairings set for Maui Invitational:

if by concern you mean unc has admitted the classes were set up for no show then you are correct.
