I think a Billy Madison style scholastic competition should be used to test them

haha, so after that researcher came out with that study, UNC basically publicly said 1. We don't believe your research, and 2. UNC didn't approve of doing this study (even though they funded it)http://www.cnn.com/2014/01/09/us/ncaa-athletes-unc-response/index.html?hpt=hp_t3[Edited on January 10, 2014 at 8:43 AM.

No doubt the threats came from esteemed UNC alumni not from someone standing in the sweatshirt rack at the Goldsboro walmart.

Just read the article, I guess anyone affiliated with a university that submitted data could have sent it from their respective walmart

I enjoy when Sports Talk topics are pertinent enough to spill over into Chit Chat, especially when they negatively talk shit about UNCexcept when BlackDog does it, he's the worst!

Accuse an academic of lying when she unearths something scandalous and shameful for the country, and then send her death threats.LOL USA AfghanistanNext thing you know, cops and FBI will show up at her door, anally digitally rape her, and accuse of her terrorism, treason, and aiding and abetting the enemy.[Edited on January 11, 2014 at 2:10 AM.

LOL, Willingham did her research and shared the results with UNC officials. UNC of course, did not like what they saw and asked her for the supporting raw data. Willingham then said she cannot due to FERPA regulations, but since the data is theirs, it would readily be available to them in their system to access. UNC now claims they repeatedly asked her for info, but she refused, and hence they don't believe her findings. . WTF[Edited on January 11, 2014 at 4:07 AM. Reason : ]
