@UKnCincy - Anyone who's read the NOA knows what's listed. Again, I think it's a foregone conclusion these allegations are accurate.
The reasons I've stated for my prediction doesn't have anything to do with the $ UNC has spent to put a "Spin" on their predicament. Nor have I bought into their
@nssdigitalchumps gave logical reasons why he expects NCAA to give severe sanctions. (I agree with him why they SHOULD do it, but have given my reasons why I DON'T EXPECT THEY WILL do it.
Did tennis and golf players receive ineligible benefits for taking these classes. (I have no clue what athletes outside of the major sports took classes or made this their major.)
Here's the real kicker and why I think other schools will support UNC. "Did non-athletes who majored in AFAM receive a real degree that the school is standing behind? Did non-athletes who attended these classes ("Attend" may be too strong of a word, but you get my point ;-) receive credit towards graduation?" If the answer is "yes" then how can NCAA legally say athletes received ineligible benefits?
Everyone knows the classes were a sham. (Reality will not be the issue.) If Program/Classes are deemed improper benefit by NCAA then it opens up a huge can of worms and a slew of lawsuits. Imagine getting a letter today that your college degree is deeemed to be a farce. I don't expect other schools to allow it to happen.
My prediction is NCAA makes some threats and will punish the other violations as severely as possible. If so, banners will stay up and Ole Roy may sit for a few games.
