HP's UNC-Cheat Thread - UNC comes out on top, NCAA penalized by UNC

There appears to be a hidden bell curve of cheating and reprimands. UNC appears to have cheated SO MUCH and SO BLATANTLY that they can barely be punished.
 
PackPride was right, the NCAA did end up stripping NC of championships after all.
 
Some on Pack Pride are saying that the accused Hole, Allen Artis, is the son of a former Deac football player named Johnny Artis.

At UNC, a missed clue, and a mantra: This was not about athletics

Newly released correspondence reflects a mindset at UNC-Chapel Hill that doubted or disputed information pointing to the athletic roots of a scheme of bogus classes. University lawyers missed, or chose to ignore, an early clue that could have unraveled the fabric of the scheme.

I love the wording in this quote:
This story has unfolded slowly for six years. Now, as the NCAA’s latest enforcement case nears its end, The N&O has reviewed the newly released correspondence, looking for clues about why it took so long for one of the country’s top public universities to discover the full scope of its corrosive shadow curriculum.

Every wonder if the NCAA's enforcement arm is totally pathetic ? This article should do it for you. UNC-CH is arguing that it fully cooperated with the NCAA by making everything available to it in 2011 that it mad available to Wainstein in 2014, the NCAA just didn't do a very good job looking into it. Therefore, the case should be thrown out. Pathetic argument by UNC-CH too.

On Friday, both sides are expected to be battling again before the NCAA's Committee on Infractions in an unusual preliminary hearing. UNC is seeking to have a major infractions case thrown out through due-process issues. One of its arguments: The NCAA knew about the fake classes in mid-2011 while investigating other misconduct involving the football team but did not take action.

The NCAA rejected all of UNC's arguments - and asserted that the university didn't tell the NCAA everything it should have about the classes in 2011. The commission that accredits UNC made a similar charge in putting UNC on probation for a year in 2015.

"It is now clear that the institution did not provide the (NCAA) enforcement staff with the entire body of pertinent information at that time, and the NCAA relied to its detriment on the thoroughness of the institution's production," the NCAA's enforcement staff wrote.

So many links.

I just want to know how badly and swiftly UNC is going to get boned.
 
I just randomly looked at the list of members of the Committee on Infractions, and damn, there are some pretty damn impressive people including:

Former AG Alberto Gonzalez
Greg Sankey
Michael Adams
William Bock (Former general counsel for the USADA, ran the Lance Armstrong doping investigation)
Larry Parkinson (Former general counsel of the FBI, and current head of enforcement for FERC)
 
Of note, the panel that will hear the UNC case is:

Alberto Gonzales
Greg Sankey
Larry Parkinson (former FBI general counsel)
Carol Cartwright (former president of Kent State and Bowling Green)
Joe Novak (former Northern Illinois football coach)
Eleanor Myers (law professor at Temple)
Jill Pilgrim (lawyer)
 
Is that the same Michael Adams that was president of UGA and was the essential person in bringing Jim Harrick to run his basketball program? Not exactly an authority on integrity.
 
UNC chose the wrong road. They could have been contrite, self inflicted punishments, and begged for mercy for the most egregious scandal in NCAA history. They lawyered up and have drug it out for years. I think they are going to get mauled by the NCAA.
