Leslie McDonald suspended for 3 games for an academic issue. Feel free to use your own showed up for class, wrote his own term paper, or took his own test punch line here. Do we have to go back to Curtis Hunter to find someone suspended over there?

I imagine they would have liked to get him some game time this week before the match with State.

Is this the beginning of the real fallout of the AFAM scandal? unc basketball players having to struggle with real classes? Maybe it is time for ol' roy to hit the links full time?

Gonna make recruiting more PGs that much tougher.

I don't want to start diving into mindless speculation, but I can't imagine what sort of academic issue gets you suspended for no more than 2 weeks.

Whatever, this is Carolina we're talking about, the entire academic/athletics system makes no sense.

Probably missing a class.

Rumor has it that he showed up for a no-show class. :eek:

I imagine that UNC is tightening things up and this is a message. Makes sense that they would...

Actually, he was suspended for taking a normal class schedule and for showing up to class. Made everyone else look bad.

Ha- the state's government is already breathing down Chapel Hill's neck. Now the prestigous Carolina basketball team is messing up? Roy must've killed an intern in anger.

Excuse me, the intern fell in front of the bus ...

of course, after the bump, ol' roy shifted into reverse just to make sure ...

That was my thought as well. "Look, see we're suspending a guy who doesn't go to class. This means we're legit, and always have been. Hey, what's that over there?" (Point and run)

Yea, and here is the UNC hater side of me coming out... it just "happens" to be a guy that is injured and not contributing at the moment! Hmmmm???

I am probably paranoid, but years of UNC "bull butter", makes me suspect everything they do.... (see avatar)

Two weeks? Makes sense to me. That's about how long it takes to weave a basket.
