This is a sad loss for our state. Bill Friday seemed to have a vision for improvements in various aspects of life and was a voice of reason.

This was my second thought. My first thought was a note of sadness to hear about a good man who did a lot for UNC passing. My second thought was that it must have grieved a man who absolutely put academics and academic integrity above athletics, to see his university become involved in one of the worst academic scandals in history, all for the sake of athletic success. RIP, Mr. Friday.
I had forgotten that Friday was an original co-chair making the current mess at UNC more than a little ironic He must have been deeply saddened by the whole, sordid affair.
Truly, the greatest Tarheel of them all.
