NC State, Duke and UK fan bases will not let this die. NCAA needs to act in good faith with its other member institutions. SACS needs to apply accreditation sanctions against the University or at least its departments that were demonstrated to be defrauding the state and the students both legitimate and athletic. They need to burn.

SACS already put UNC on warning, which is the worst thing they can do next to revoking accreditation.

What a ridiculous headline : "Blue Skies return At North Carolina"...based on what? The team being good ? The article acts like they have nothing at all to be concerned about. UNC couldn't be happier about this article if they had actually written it. Disgusting.

It's easier for the clouds to lift when you don't have to pay the price for rampant cheating. Just cracks me up how Cal loses two FFs because ONE person did something in two separate cases, but nothing happens to Duke in cases where pretty clear violations occurred, and so far nothing has happened to UNCheat where numerous players got impermissible benefits over many, many years. Just ming-boggling.

What a joke. Fk uncheat. They're in bed with everybody. How can anyone take the ncaa seriously.

No way they slam the currently #1 ranked team. They'll either slap them on the wrist or wait until the season is over (and pray that UNC doesn't win it all) before they release any major sanctions.

That guy has been attending the Bobbi Perv school of self deception.

It's extremely rare that an entity matches or is worse than their message board characterization but UNC is far more disingenuous than we could describe in a post . As for the NCAA , I would like to know what percentage of their employees are ACC or UNC alumni and what department they work in . I think that may shed a lot of light on confusing rulings or non rulings of the past .

So UNC thinks the crisis is over, huh?

They want to get it over with so badly that they have deflected for years and spent millions on PR.

With all sincerity, no one has ever deserved to have the hammer dropped on them more than those guys. The audacity to stick with their doing it "the right way" talk. Makes me want to vomit.

You are probably correct,UL has done them a big favor,UNC can dance around the issue for a while longer. I hope UNC turns out not to be as good as everyone seems to believe this season.Whatever bad that happens to them they deserve that and more.

It is a ridiculous double standard. I have to listen to people at work all the time talk about how crooked Calipari and UK are while some of them are actually UNC fans. I also have to hear about how Duke is such a clean program. Even Jay Bilas is defending Carolina, arguing Roy and the basketball program aren't proven to be guilty of any wrong doing. Honestly, it is absurd that something on this massive scale is seemingly sliding by. It is beyond obvious that players were clustered in these classes. Meanwhile Cal seems to be the only victim of the "strict liability" standards.

TReading through that article again, be careful and avoid reading things into it that it doesn't say.

Essentially, its just the same spin that men's basketball isn't involved. Moonpie and team are trying very hard to convince themselves of that. I can actually understand that. Tough to play when you figure its all going to get taken away. Same spin that Moonpie was trying to use when he was trying to recruit.

Regardless of what they want folks to believe, there is still this paragraph in the article AFTER it was redacted.

In June, UNC made public the notice of allegations the NCAA sent it; the NCAA is treating the case not as academic fraud but rather impermissible benefits. The apparent good news for the men's basketball program: Neither Williams or any member of his staff was accused of committing any NCAA violations. But it remains unclear what potential sanctions and/or punishment the program may face, considering there were 167 enrollments in the suspect classes during Williams' tenure.
​

The best "Bobbi-like" spin I can put on that is that the NCAA isn't going to directly attack Moonpie and his fellow conspirators as that would require a ton of legal cash and due process. Moonpie's boys enrolled in the fraudulent classes 167 times.

This is going to get ugly.
