there's nothing else to throw....I posted what was saidlooks like Blake is not the only one who will be hiring a criminal defense attorney

Each time I think their fans' anger at PP/NCSU/ABCers is justified, I think of 1973. We were banned from postseason play because Guthridge snitched on us for DT playing in a pickup game. We talking bout a pickup game.

THE WAFFLE SIGNAL!
9/6/2010 2:51:22 PM
money laundering, an affair, academic fraud, and who knows what elseit's pretty safe to say that UNC's football program is toastalso heard that Butch tried to resign before the LSU game

Mrs. Krabappel and Principal Skinner Butch Davis were in the closet making babies and I saw one of the babies and then the baby looked at me.these "i heard ___" things are getting a bit out of hand, i ain't believing anything until i see it in the newsThat being said. . .

[Reposed from Packpride]Posted: Today 2:41 PMRE: Blake Resigns (Rumors of Nuclear Option on IC) WingsCupped wrote: Picked up this little tidbit from a neighbor (Tarhole grad) who was at the game on Saturday in Atlanta. He was attending a big Ram's Club pre-game party and said that the big rumor was that Blake would be gone by Monday. He told me this yesterday morning, so I do give his sources (Ram's Club big wigs) some credibility seeing that it wasn't announced until late yesterday. He then went on to tell me that the reason Blake would be gone was in regards to a pretty substantial wire transfer that the NCAA discovered that was sent to Blake's bank account, and it was allegedly from an agent. Allegedly, that money was used to "urge" the key guy's on defense to come back for their senior year, and in return, Blake would try to push them to that agent when the players finished their senior years. Please take it for what it's worth. Like I said, this came from a neighbor that attended the Ram's Club pre-game party, and already had told me Blake would be gone before it was officially announced.

LOL, just when I start considering feeling sorry for UNC fans and the shitstorm they are caught up in....something like that comes along to remind me why i hope the NCAA destroys them. No punishment will be good enough until that cesspool ceases to exist.
9/6/2010 3:20:36 PM
my favorite thing about IC is this overriding mentality that the players are so "mad/fired up" about this that they are going to be ready to "rip heads off" on the field

^ Summary: Like everyone else here, I have no inside information regarding the investigation. I don't know who the NCAA is talking to, what they've learned, or what possible scenarios await. Despite my complete lack of knowledge regarding the investigation, I will angrily voice my concerns with the NCAA and orate what should be happening.]

They'll probably make the announcement on Thursday afternoon, so that ESPN will spend the entire time during the NC State - Cincinnati game talking about Carolina. I'm so glad I'm going to the game and won't have to listen to that shitstorm.

9/6/2010 4:16:59 PM
^^ Well, I don't anticipate them kicking anyone off either. That would imply wrongdoing. I mean damn, Austin is still on the team, technically.
9/6/2010 4:25:52 PM
^Hope you are right. I just hate to see anything positive for them these days. It's like the NCAA is holding an eel. You don't want them to let it slip out because you'll never be able to catch it again. UNC is one slimy program.
9/6/2010 4:31:17 PM
Eh, I think they're in pretty deep. Early on I figured nothing would come of Agentgate, but then the press (and by extension, the NCAA) caught on to the Wichard-Blake connection, and I was like "hmm, maybe..." Then Tutorgate happened, and I was like "OK, now we're getting somewhere..." Then Blake resigned, and all bets are off now. I don't think they're getting off easy. I'm still in disbelief that I've lived to see this day, but here it is.
9/6/2010 4:35:01 PM
No players likelyI don't foreseeSounds like a case of plausible deniability. It's not like he's going to come out and say "Yep, we still have a big pile of shit to clean up down the hall, and we're working on that" becuase they'd pressure him for more info. Doesn't jive with every other bit of info floating around, so I'd ignore it
9/6/2010 4:36:00 PM
^ Yeah, Baddour's not going to tip his hand and say "yeah we're probably going to have to kick some kids off the team and fire Butch." The natural follow-up is, "well why haven't you done that already?"He knows what's coming, but the game is to act surprised with every revelation.[Edited on September 6, 2010 at 4:42 PM. Reason : ...]
9/6/2010 4:41:26 PM
I agree with the last few posts about Baddour's statement. Just deny it until the very last minute. No need to say "yep...we're screwed" just yet if you're DB. Funny how the holes on the turd pit at IC are slowly coming to the realization that their beloved university and athletic program may have done something wrong. At the start of all this they all said the NCAA was there to check in and wouldn't find anything. Then they were willing to sacrifice Marvin Austin. And then academic issue came out...and now Blake resigns. IC is going to erupt if anything else bad comes out.

^ BC is a private school, so they probably hold academics in a similar regard to Duke and WF.The most mind-boggling thing with UNC's graduation rates is that the athlete graduation rate is higher than that of the general student population. I would feel pretty concerned about that, since I just doubt that could happen without "significant" help.
9/6/2010 5:59:06 PM
This is my all time favorite TWW thread.
9/6/2010 6:00:20 PM
lets face it... 90% of all these non private school football players did all they could just to get through high school (and I am sure they had help with that especially when they figured out they would be playing football in college).I feel pretty good about our graduation rate for the football team. I'll take 57% any day.

57% if pretty bottom of the barrel in the ACC, isn't it? Not really much to be proud of, but also no rumors of impropriety so I guess that's good.Anyway, I guess this thread just doesn't excite me as much as you guys because I know, by and large, things like this are happening at every high-major school out there, including ours... those who get caught get punished and have to reform for a few years before cheating again and those who don't get caught just go on cheating without any problems.
9/6/2010 6:15:22 PM
Kind of off topic but if Maryland and VT win tonight, UNC will be the only ACC school to get a L this weekend
