It would have been interesting to be a fly on the wall to hear the conversation.
So are the new allegations proof that the reforms are not working which is bad news in trying to prove to SACS that the reforms are working?
"Sixty days" is Bubba Cunningham's number. The NCAA needs to evaluate the self-reported infractions and then indicate what UNC should do. If I read it correctly, the soccer violation is the failure of an assistant coach to answer a question correctly on the test of NCAA rules, and the women's basketball violation is ostensibly more serious, but "more of the same" in terms of impermissible academic assistance to a player.
I suppose the NCAA could say, "Just send in your NOA response -- these other items are unlikely to change the penalties." But I expect that UNC will be given additional time.
