UNC would rather you believe a fantastic lie than know the real truth about them and that's why they will never freely take responsibility . Their hand will have to be forced into taking the appropriate corrective action . The NCAA , SACS , their own board of trustees nor the people of North Carolina will force their hand .
Even those responsible for bringing much of the issue to light don't have the resolve to do the right thing . As stated by Manalashi there is information to tell the truth but because people won't get to continue living a lie it must be suppressed , don't want to hurt their reputation . Mary Willingham is more concerned about her book imo , she wants UNC to stop their practice but without them paying for their crimes . Surely Kane is privy to the untold truth and yet he also shelters UNC by withholding their darkest secrets .
Which is exactly how they ended up in this mess to begin with , enablers who wouldn't take them to task . It looks like one wants a Pulitzer and one wants a best seller and are milking it for everything they can get out of it . At the end of the day the only entity that can act is the only one who doesn't have a stake or interest . The government is the only one who has nothing to lose or gain by the outcome , of course a deal would eventually be made with North Carolina lawmakers .
The author of the provided article told the truth and sought to challenge the UNC leadership to right a wrong , at the same time he distanced himself from the dark course the school chooses to take . Credit him for seeking truth .
