I do admire the twist here. UNC is facing the greatest academic scandal of all time and eCat is having to defend Kentucky.

"This statement is in response to false allegations regarding my connection to an academic scandal within the University of North Carolina athletic and African-American studies departments. This week has been an upsetting and challenging week for me, as one of my most private academic documents appeared on the university's website for public examination. I'm terribly disappointed in the fact that my privacy has been violated, as well as frustrated with whoever negligently and carelessly committed such a flagrant error.

"However, it has caused me to have an important moment of reflection over the time that I was a student in Chapel Hill. During my undergraduate years, I, like many other students, was trying to find direction and adjust to being independent for the first time as a young adult. With this new freedom and unfamiliar environment, I will admit that, at times some of my priorities were not always aligned properly. Luckily, I had a great support system, including Dr. Carl Carey and the athletic academic department, who gave me much needed counsel.

"I can assure everyone that there is no academic fraud as it relates to my college transcript. I took every course with qualified members of the UNC faculty and I earned every grade whether it was good or bad. I was never given unapproved assistance or preferential treatment in terms of my academic career because I was a student-athlete. I was also never deemed ineligible to compete on any of the football or basketball teams.

"In hindsight, I am pleased with my undergraduate experience. UNC gave me the exposure and foundation I needed to follow my dream, which ultimately led to my chosen career path. Isn't that what college is supposed to be for? Going forward, a decade later, I can honestly say that I now understand the importance of supporting students early in their college career. Presently, I'm thinking of ways that I can use my experiences and resources to help assist them. Thanks and Go Heels."

The esteemed scholar after writing the above letter in defense of his UNC education.

what happened to "majoring in communications" ?

I'm personally annoyed that AFAM professors let this shyt fly.

You couldn't do this cheating in the Poli-Sci department?

Just horrible. As horrible a job of rigging a photo that I've seen in a long time. And this is an easy one. In this day of cutting edge online tomfoolery, you'd think someone would do a better job.

As for everything else? I agree with T Dot.

Wait!! That pic was altered?

Spacer is gonna be all over this one!

Then you ought to be royally pissed off. You sold your souls for a relatively small return. UCLA got for ten championships for their cheating an UK got 8. Hell, I'd argue State got better value than UNC did.

Just win, baby.

I care about academics for 98% of the student body. As for the 2% that are athletes: I could give a shit less. I want wins and for them not to embarrass the university.

Auggie: yes, for this much hassle, I want a MNC.

0 fer 2 there DS.

"Hell, I'd argue State got better value than UNC did."

Yeah, I'm sure State wouldn't trade places with UNC in terms of hoops accomplishments. Actually, I doubt there's any program out there that wouldn't trade places with UNC over the past 30 years in hoops...

not only did they fire Doherty, they cheated while he was coach.

That is UK football incompetence there

No, not really. I wouldn't anyway. Knowing that my success was built on a pack of lies would bother me. YMMV.
