The problem is not just the school that does the deed. UNC is not the first
only or last school involved in academic fraud or serious issues. Over the
years quite a few schools have had their issues. The problem is the NCAA
and their rulings or none ruling. I hate mentioning schools by name but
some of the south schools and west coast have had problems. It is how
they were handled by the NCAA that drove me up the wall. The more money
the bigger the school the longer the NCAA took to rule or not rule.
Sometimes turn the other cheek or give a slap on the wrist. Than out of
no where they will out of no where come down hard on a school. What they
did to the 2012 ND football team was an over killed. Taking away about
a year and half of wins after ND already took measures to punish the
people involved.

...Bottom line is the NCAA needs to clean up their shop and be consistant
and timely in their decisions on all cases. Look how long the Bush
decision took. I still did not think it was tough enough.

Because the NCAA is terrible in how it manages misconduct (which it is), then the fraud or rules breaking that has occurred at places like North Carolina and others isn't that big of a deal to you because the NCAA can't get it together? I'm trying not to parse your words but I'm not sure I follow your reasoning.

I don't know Bubba Cunningham at all. Maybe he is a good guy who just exercised poor judgement. My simple point was that for anyone in leadership to sign off on a response that basically says....yes, we committed academic fraud but since it was available to anyone at the school then our athletic department should not be penalized.....they really aren't exercising any leadership at all that I care to admire.

Sorry you misunderstood me. I must not have been very in my article.
I apologize for that. I hate schools that fraud. Fraud is cheating at
the highest level which should be dealt with at the most severe
academic and athletic penalties. I have seen over the years so many
schools pull the fast one over the NCAA or the NCAA is just lazy or
both.

...The NCAA has been so inconsistent over the years on handing down their
decisions. In many cases the player and or coaches involved are no
longer at the school and the students that are punished are innocent
of the charges. Auburn is one school I can think of off the top of
my head.

...Bottom line. Most universities and students adhere to the academic
and athletic laws of the land. There are a few that have pushed the
envelope over the years and have gotten away with it. North Caroline
got caught and will be punished I hope appropriately. I also think
in a case link Hatchell she should lose some priviledges and orders
awarded her over the years. I believe she is a member of the Hall of
Fame. If proven guilty of being part of this fraud. She is no longer
in good standing and in my opinion should have the honor removed.

...Years aga SMU was put on the death penalty for multiple problems
found in the football program. This was during the Eric Dickerson and
Craig James era the university. SMU still has not fully recovered from
that penalty.

...My stand is cheating to make yourself or team better than your
competition is one of the worse if no worse infracctions that a
coach, player or administrator can do. This to me warrants the
academic/athletic death penalty on that Universities program involved.

...I hope this clears up what I was meaning to say. I did not really
want to go so much into depth of this problem. I can not support that
kinda abuse in a program, especially a high profile program like
North Carolina.

I apologize to the board for being to wordy on this issue that means
a lot to me and I take very seriously.

Thanks for having me clear up my meaning in my last post. Greatly
appreciated.
