Will media vilify UNC and NCAA ?

[FrankUnderwood]

do you all think there will be any fallout over the NCAA blatantly cheating and covering up for uncs decades long academic scandal?


I’ve noticed a lot of talking heads (even Dick V) somewhat bashing UNC / NCAA . A couple articles/ blogs here and there . Are there more ?

Do you think this will have negative consequences for the image of NCAA and UNC?

ESPN is the main source of news regarding these sports related issues. Does that answer your question??

Vitale has already changed his tune.

Changed it to vilifying or changed to sticking up for them similar to that crusty nut-sack known as Bilas ?

Half the talking heads haven't bothered to read up on the facts and try to fully understand what happened. Yesterday on ATH two of the panelists gave the whole story a "pffftt, easy classes exist at every school. Not sure why it's a story!". They didn't bother to look at the most basic facts and understand it was not about easy classes, but about an entire sham major. No course work, no mandatory classroom attendance, no tests, and fake grades given out by a secretary in the department....for 18 years!

Too many empty shirts with loud mouths and catch phrases in broadcast media and not enough actual journalism and reporting skills on display.

Nope. All the espn talking heads all carried the party line for unc:

Classes were wrong, but not punishable.

Most launched into tweets soon as the ruling was released. Except Bilas, who was basically UNC paid propaganda.

And they were not punishable because UNC having admitted they were fraudulent, later changed their tune.

UNC: "We broke the rules."

NCAA: "OK, banners come down, postseason ban, loss of scholarships."

UNC: "I mean, no we didn't."

NCAA: "Sounds good. Next!"

Darn good summation.

Some might, but I think more of the media will sweep it under the rug. But, some of them will.
