    N&O followed up today with an editorial on the Boyer incident.
    The so-called hazing incident has been under wraps since it occurred. Police were not called at the time and the university provided no details of what happened. Apparently it was all supposed to go away with a sealed agreement and a big check.

    This was clearly an incident that the public had a right to know about. How can the football program be held to account if violent, off-field encounters by players are not reported and, when discovered, not discussed?

    Suggested Disclaimer for all things UNC?

    Caught an article that railed against speech codes at UNC. Said article may not have all the facts correct (see update at the bottom), but finished with this paragraph:

    The University of North Carolina is most famous, of course, because it perpetuated a sickening scam which involved 18 years of rampant academic fraud. The shocking con allowed dozens of athletes to deliberately enroll in fake classes for which they were awarded passing grades to keep them eligible for UNC’s sports teams.

    I'm thinking this should be a mandatory statement of all things UNC. Given their defense seems to be, "So what, we cheated a whole lot of people, not just the athletes," it seems apropos.

    Just saw the cover of a lacrosse mag my nephews got today that called UNC the University of National Champions. That inspired me enough to come up with an alternative more accurate name: The University of Neverending Cheaters.

    Sadly, there's a billboard in Mebane on I-40/85 that says the former (it includes the women's tennis champion as well.) It replaced the baseball billboard (and the women's basketball billboard before that; not a great streak of messages from the cheaters.)

    Georgia Southern gets two years probation, loss of 2 scholarships because 3 football players received impermissible academic assistance:

    I frankly turned off the UNC thing after the weak corrected NOA came out, so sorry if this has been mentioned. Have not read any of these threads since then.

    scuttlebutt is that the NCAA will sanction UNC heavily with removing 3 snack machines from 2 of the athletic dorms.


    they will fight it tooth and nail, but the NCAA will hold strong...

    Will Graves will not be able to choose "Ranch Dip Doritos" as option A-4 for the period of suspension too. Harsh.

    Folks, we can rest easy. I have it on good authority that at least a private reprimand will be involved.

    Can the NCAA force the team to run extra sets of lines or is that too harsh?

    No, but the NCAA will be picking the restaurant for all team meals. I hear The Angus Barn is our but Golden Coral is still on the table.

    Nope, according to Ray Felton's nephew (great point guard prospect) Roy has told his recruits the threat of sanctions "is over". I'm guessing NCAC apologizes for investigating the program.
