I thought the Wainstein report would be a bombshell. Now the NCAA is going to lower the boom on UNC, including some major, major penalties going forward. How can they not? I mean, an academic administrator, not in any sense a faculty member, created and (easily) graded essentially no-requirement courses that were accepted for graduation and all other purposes. And all of this was done, as the advisory staff members and the administrator admit, to keep athletes eligible to play sports.
Will I end up feeling sorry for UNC for the end of its athletic program? If it's the death penalty, maybe so!
