    UNC Football Scandal - The Beat Goes On

    http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=6133474

    Reversing its previous decision, the NCAA will now permit UNC-CH’s Devon Ramsay to return to intercollegiate football, after having permanently excluded him incident to the Tarheel program’s multiple ethics issues.

    No big surprise here at least to me. After the NCAA basically let Cam Newton and Auburn off scott free I would have a hard time seeing them inforce much of anything on anyone for fear of even more scruitiny.

    Guess we know who gets all the calls, and has the NCAA in their pockets.

    Is everything done, or are there still pending issues with the UNC agent/cheating mess?

    Is Butch Davis still employed there?

    For all the grief we/I enjoy giving their fans, I think most Duke fans wouldn't begrudge UNC a solid standing as a do-it-the-right-way kind of athletic department, generally. But this sure has to leave a sour taste in the mouths of any fans there with lingering illusions of their program being above that sort of "dirty hands" stuff. I'm sincerely disappointed not to see greater accountability at the top of the FB program. $$ wins again.

    x2.

    Looks like the biggest difference between UNC and Clemson is that one is next to a pretty lake.

    I believe that the NCAA has completed their investigation and will, at some point, issue a report with their findings. Carolina will respond at that point. Then, the NCAA will decide what, if any, sanctions/penalties are warranted. Carolina will likely appeal.

    Why are you wasting time here when you could be wasting it by listening to the latest episode of the DBR Podcast?

    Thanks.

    Unfortunately, that sounds like a slap on the wrist is coming.

    NCAA = big fat joke.

    Love to be proved wrong. But if a good part of the team can be involved with an agent, and another good part of the team can cheat on tests, why bother.

    Dig, AG, dig! If UNC won't do anything about integrity, it falls to you!

    To amplify slightly on Sage's post, ESPN now reports that a subpoena has been issued for financial records and information; it will be interesting to see if the agent(s) will implicate others to save themselves.

    NFL draft

    UNC had 9 players chosen in the NFL draft, most of any college. Of course, several of them missed games or the entire 2010 season due to scandal, turning a potentially great season into a half-decent season.

    Will Butch Davis and crew put a Calipari-like spin on this and call the draft one of the great weekends in UNC football history?

    After everything that went on with the UNC Football program last season, one would think caution would be used moving forward. Guess not.

    NCAA back on campus investigating the Quinton Coples situation. Coples attended a draft party for Marvin Lewis and Robert Quinn. The latest story on WRAL contains newly released photo's from the party with Coples front and center sporting a really nice watch.

    Will be interesting to see the UNC AD and Butch spin this one away.
