It's not news. Why comment on it.
I've made all my commenting on the NCAA and the Cheaters.
I'm amazed no one has posted/quoted this yet.
Top of page 1 today in the Raleigh News and Observer:
"NCAA drops proposed academic fraud reform"
Linked to this site because I was unable to find the on-line N&O article ():
https://www.islandpacket.com/news/st...233693507.html
"The NCAA this week quietly dropped a recommended reform that would have given the association more authority to handle the kind of academic misconduct that left dozens of athletes at UNC-Chapel Hill with subpar educations."
Words fail me (well, not really-I'm not allowed to type them on this forum ).
[redacted] them and the horses they rode in on.

I like this word "feckless". I haven't seen it or heard it for many years.
I need to find a way to weave "feckless" into my next legal brief.
It’s not another word for “freckles”?!
Several years ago I noticed several politicians becoming a bit reckless with their use of the word feckless. It turned out I wasn't the only one and articles like "Criticism grows of feckless politicians who use 'feckless' fecklessly" began popping up. I enjoyed them. This link has a political slant but hopefully y'all appreciate it given this.
I particularly like how the author describes John McCain as a "man of undoubted feck..." Not to be morbid, but it's in the running for my tombstone.
It means the NCAA doesn't give a.....about academics
I’m just here for all the feckless commentary.
Big smiles, fun stuff.
I saw the thread title and thought, "There's a title most uNC folks won't be able to understand, so I hope it's about them." I was not disappointed. Well, I guess I am disappointed now, but for an entirely different reason.
It's flat our racism if you ask me.
The damage has already been done though. They really are dragging collegiate basketball down the drain.
Its incredible how hypocritical and moronic the decision makers for the NCAA have been.
All this discussion about the word "feckless" is in the wrong thread! There's a perfectly good thread on the Off-Topic Forum about words. If you haven't already, you should check it out.
And yes, this is a shameless plug for a thread I started. I am intrepid, not feckless. ;-)
"We are not provided with wisdom, we must discover it for ourselves, after a journey through the wilderness which no one else can take for us, an effort which no one can spare us, for our wisdom is the point of view from which we come at last to regard the world." --M. Proust
