I have said for years that unc could directly support terrorism and the walmart nation would still pull for dem' heels. Cheating Bastards.

I'm looking forward to another year of "us against the world" bullshit during televised games. Maybe Dickie V will just straight up call Wainstein a lying jew on tv this time around.

NCAA President Emmert makes his first public comment about the scandal
10/27/2014 4:50:45 PM
Ahhh...The Martin Report.http://www.newsobserver.com/2014/10/27/4269451_decock-martin-impressed-with-wainstein.html?rh=1
10/27/2014 5:18:53 PM
^^Wow. Strong (and very true) words. Hopefully he backs it up with a punishment.
10/27/2014 6:06:10 PM
The question now is does the NCAA who laid down the hammer against SMU and Michigan still exist? If they do not, this will set a dangerous precedent for all of college sports that could result in a NCAA meltdown at the end.

http://espn.go.com/college-sports/story/_/id/11775066/mark-emmert-ncaa-president-calls-north-carolina-report-troubling"Just based on the (Kenneth) Wainstein report, this is a case that potentially strikes at the heart of what higher education is about," Emmert said Monday. "Universities are supposed to take absolutely most seriously the education of their students, right? I mean that's why they exist, that's their function in life. If the Wainstein report is accurate, then there was severe, severe compromising of all those issues, so it's deeply troubling. ... It's absolutely disturbing that we find ourselves here right now."North Carolina athletic department spokesman Steve Kirschner said the school would not comment on Emmert's remarks."When a school has information about inappropriate behavior that might render a student-athlete ineligible, then they're under an obligation to respond. If it turns out later that they did know and did have facts that demonstrated that someone was ineligible and they played them anyway, then sure those wins can be vacated and that's happened many times."But it was the details of the North Carolina case that drew Emmert's harshest comments."When you look at what we all know today, the Wainstein report, and just based upon that," Emmert said, "you look at the, I look at these facts, like everyone, and I find them shocking."[Edited on October 27, 2014 at 6:39 PM.

exactly why my nut-bustingly perfect dream scenario punishment is justified. the NCAA has to destroy unc's past, present, and future to show they take education seriously. otherwise, they have no legitimacy and there's no reason for the other schools to not do what the cheating tar holes did.
10/27/2014 6:30:17 PM
The best part of all, the Wainstein report was paid for by UNC themselves.
10/27/2014 6:33:51 PM
i'm having trouble seeing how the NCAA could claim to have any credibility if they don't come down hard on UNC. not only would ignoring this or going easy on UNC undermine the NCAA's credibility, it would fundamentally undermine the defense they use to justify why athletes shouldn't be paid. the NCAA has no option, they have to be hard on UNC.
10/27/2014 6:43:43 PM
Exactly. There's a lot more ($) at stake for the NCAA.Also, is it just me, or does it sound like the language he's using is a tacit acknowledgement that this shit went further than what is revealed in the Wainstein report:
10/27/2014 6:49:04 PM
Yeah, looks like the Wainstein report was the breaking point for both the national media and the NCAA. The facts just speak for themselves, and anyone who advocates for college athletics has to be appalled by this crap. This is beyond even what the cynics think of the institution.[Edited on October 27, 2014 at 7:03 PM. Reason : :]
10/27/2014 7:03:38 PM
burn chapel hill down
10/27/2014 7:18:15 PM
^^^ It wouldn't just undermine their credibility.It would undermine their very existence. Providing athletes with an education is ostensibly the only thing keeping college athletics as an amateur endeavour. If you don't provide the athlete with an education, then you no longer have an argument against compensating the athlete.No more student athlete = No NCAA.
10/27/2014 7:24:34 PM
Banners should fall along with post season bans in multiple sports. Either that or no penalties at all. I see no middle ground.[Edited on October 27, 2014 at 7:37 PM. Reason : A bit like either Miami or pedo state]
10/27/2014 7:36:03 PM
It would be like Chris Webber never even called that timeout.That game just never happened.They can let Greg Ostertag and Jamal Mashburn thumb wrestle for that years NCAA winner. Winner gets to hang the UNC banner in their gym. Loser gets the Michigan banner.[Edited on October 27, 2014 at 7:48 PM. Reason : Gerold Ford and Ashley Judd can watch.][Edited on October 27, 2014 at 7:50 PM. Reason : Wait...no, G. Ford went to Michigan. need a famous Kansas alumn for that joke.]
10/27/2014 7:38:09 PM
Exactly. The entire argument for not paying players is "they get a free education". If they aren't actually getting an education then that argument is out the window
10/27/2014 7:49:03 PM
We're gonna need a bigger boat more asterisks]
10/27/2014 7:57:05 PM
I still can't believe they have that 1924 Banner hanging in there, even the NCAA doesn't recognize that as a National Championship...However if they drop the last 3, then I am fine with the 1924 Banner in which not even 8 teams played in and nobody except UNC recognizes it as anything except a good basketball team. I mean fuck, Social Security numbers were implemented 11 years after that "win"... So let them keep that stupid shit hanging and they need more than asterisks. The either drop the banners or they put a beg red circle with a line diagonally through it saying we cheated and also "Bias owns Jordan" in bold print.
10/27/2014 8:10:05 PM
UNC didn't win a tournament in 1924. Some guy just looked at records like 20 years later and decided they were the best.
10/27/2014 8:19:50 PM
I wonder how this will affect UNC's rankings for top public colleges in the nation? Weren't they in the top 15 last year even after the first 2 reports?
10/27/2014 8:24:18 PM
If they admit it WAS an athletics problem, might not hurt them too badIf they keep claiming it was an academic problem, they should drop 100s if spots
10/27/2014 8:25:43 PM
not to be a debbie downer but isnt this thread a little fanciful?just to play devils advocate for a second, what are you guys gonna do if nothing or very little happens?show up at their next game with disparaging signs? im not looking forward to this becoming 50 pages + of eating crow.
10/27/2014 8:31:43 PM
^Yeah some of the "death penalty" talk is probably a stretch.But worst case that happens is the NCAA drops the ball and there's no further punishment. But through the investigation, UNC has already been exposed for 18 (at least) years of outright academic fraud of pretty much the highest degree. Not to mention the football investigation and punishment already handed down by the NCAA, which was completely separate from the academic stuff. UNC fans have always bragged about their squeaky clean program, and great academic image. All that of is now permanently tarnished. So there's not really much crow to eat.
10/27/2014 8:44:13 PM
Did you read the NCAA President said today? Did you listen to Al Sharpton? Did you watch the SNL plug? It is sad, but the last two will probably have more weight in causing an outcome than the report and the initial remarks from the NCAA President.What some people do not realize is that this is putting the NCAA and College Sports as a whole on trial. If the NCAA makes the wrong decision here and gives them a slap on the wrist it could be the end of College Sports as we know it. Like others have said, the entire premise of being a college athlete is you receive a free education, when you remove the education what is the point of the NCAA. Never before has the NCAA been in such a public spotlight over the UNC corruption and although many of us hate UNC, this goes much deeper than their shitty school. This is basically like the end of slavery for the NCAA (AFAM joke FTW) and if they go with slavery, College Sports will never be the same, ever. This is why UNC has to receive a harsh punishment if the NCAA can prove the allegations of the report. If ANY Basketball players were ineligible due to this and were on (not even played) any of the National Championship teams, those wins have to be vacated, no question. Now if the NCAA can tie enough dirt to UNC in general, a 1-2 death penalty for Football and/or Basketball is not out of the question at all. The NCAA has their ass on the line here and whatever they chose, good or bad, will set the new precedent for College Sports and Student Athletes around the country.I would love nothing better than for the NCAA to completely remove UNC from the teams in D1 and demote them to D1AA or some shit. The reason I believe we will see an outcome this time vs. the first two reports is because the first investigation was fucked from the start based on who did it. Then they hire Willingham to do an investigation on the student athletes themselves and once she publishes it they try to discredit her as much as possible. I honestly believe they though the Wainstein report was going to help them and further discredit the other investigations, but obviously this blew up in their faces worse than anyone could have hoped for.Now we are at a crossroad where the NCAA will have to decide, do we want to continue with the same morals, rules and legacy that we are known for. Or do we want to give UNC a slap on the wrist and completely fuck College Sports as we know it? The choice is there's not ours obviously, but anyone with sense who has read any of the documents and interviews available can come to the conclusion that UNC will not be walking out of this one with a simple ban. I believe they will vacate at least 2 Championships and the infamous death penalty is not out of the question for say 1-2 years. You have to look at what is best for College Sports in the eyes of the NCAA, not what is going to harm UNC, luckily they are one in the same.

is revocation of ncaa membership a thing? can it be a thing?
10/27/2014 9:05:43 PM
If nothing comes of this, I'll likely just head over to the Doeren thread and shit on him some more.Actually... I'll probably do that regardless.We suck at football.Oh well. At least we have scholars. And football players who = scholar. I like the way we scholl.
10/27/2014 9:10:24 PM
I'm looking forward to the ncaa deciding they don't want to do anything to unc, and college athletics being minor league club teams. UNC can be the school that fixed the college athletics problem
10/27/2014 9:12:37 PM
again, devils advocate here.how much of this is genuine concern about the integrity of academics and the fellowship of student athletes blah blah blah.and how much of it is just "we are nc state so of course fuck chapel hill straight to hell."i think the animosity is a little disturbing; im sure a few of you guys would get in any student / alums face that was wholly unrelated to the department in question. im sure there are some unc fans / grads that are disgusted by this that you consider guilty by association.lets not be a bunch of savages here. you have the opportunity to now forever be on the high road.
10/27/2014 9:13:33 PM
I think the real question is, when the NCAA rules whatever they choose to rule on UNC, will John Swofford pressure the ACC to impose additional sanctions? Like he did with State and Clemson back in the 80s?
10/27/2014 9:15:38 PM
I actually think non-cheating UNC students are the biggest victims here. They are forever tainted by association. But I still want the program to burn because of 30 years of UNC fans' elitist bragging about their scholarship AND integrity in the athletics department. It's The Carolina Way.
10/27/2014 9:19:13 PM

The NCAA always comes down on people playing players but UNC is the opposite. They have been stealing from the players all this time.I don't see the NCAA doing anythiing because it seems like their only concern is having a monopoly on the revenue. When players start tapping into that, its a problem. Players not taking classes doesn't really affect anyones pockets. Except maybe the players.
