well, they have a rich tradition to uphold. Gene Chizik got canned from Auburn (*) where he allegedly paid players, had grades changed...and
landed as defensive coordinator in Chapel Hill. The Carolina Way if you will.

* be advised he didn't get canned because he cheat, bribed players, etc. he got canned because he went 3-9.

Getting Illinois ex-coach ... hmmm.

I wonder how that impacts UNC's trip to Illinois on Sept. 10?

[weezie]

He can drive the bus to and from the airport.

don't worry, he's promised to mistreat regular students as well. nothing to see here.

Heard he's going to volunteer his skills for parking enforcement too.

UNC or the NCAA?

We agree that UNC shouldn't be doing this BS, but the NCAA allows them to get away with so much. The sad thing is that UNC continues to do this crap without any repercussions from the NCAA. Sigh...

NEITHER have balls!! UNC doesn't have the balls to own up to their lying cheating ways and the NCAA doesn't have the balls to hold them accountable.

I wonder why he has chosen a volunteer job in NC. He used to coach at Elon and Western Carolina- so perhaps he has a fondness for the area and he has ties to Fedora. Apparently he had issues at both Toledo and Illinois. Certainly UNC is continuing to make questionable decisions. I know some UNC fans who are not very happy with the entire nature of UNC sports at the moment and are very complimentary of Cutcliffe and his approach to Duke football.

For this specific act, using Tim Beckman as a volunteer coach, what rule is UNC breaking? What is the NCAA allowing UNC to get away with? Does Tim Beckman not deserve a second chance? I do not know the man but perhaps this is a situation where one should walk a mile in his shoes before criticizing.

My two cents.

On this thread and many other threads there is a disgust that the NCAA has done nothing or that UNC will get away with this...

At some point in the past 6 months I have come to the conclusion that even though we as fans feel helpless, we can actually do a lot in this situation. I for one no longer consider UNC as a legitimate respected rival. I will still watch the games against UNC and cheer for Duke to win but UNC has now replaced Md as the team that wants Duke to be a peer/rival but really isn't. So, to UNC fans out there (Art Chansky)...quit "Terping" because I don't really care anymore.

When does Duke play NC State...there is a fan base and series of teams I can respect and we as Duke fans can start to promote as Duke's true rival without the NCAA's help. (BTW when Duke beats UNC in football this year and we get the silly bell back we should just let them keep it or perhaps bring it out at the next NCSU/Duke game to be painted either Duke blue or NC State red).

My point is that UNC can continue to do these things (cheating, hiring fired coaches, etc) as long as either a) the NCAA doesn't punish UNC or b) it's completely legal (but frowned upon) to do (like hiring the parent of a recruit as an assistant coach). The NCAA, unfortunately, enables schools like UNC with either poor referring or poor understanding of the rules or poor rules to begin with.

Personally, I blame the NCAA moreso than any school.

Duke and State next play in football in 2023.

If you think that's a wierd piece of scheduling by the ACC, consider that the Duke and UNC women's soccer teams are playing a non-conference game next weekend, because in its infinite wisdom the ACC decided not to make an exception to the way teams rotate on and off each other's conference schedules.

I would agree. Collectively, isn't it time we demote UNC and say that it is no longer a "rival"? They are just another team we play. Even better, maybe we can arrange a trade with the SEC, UNC for UK. They get another cheater and we upgrade the academic standards for athletes. At least their athletes have to attend some classes, right?

And persona non grata in Chapel Hill.
