What I want to know is why Carolina doesn't have a sham Asian & Asian-American Studies Department? Don't Asian students deserve their own fake classes?

This is the part that really shows their true intent. You sort of know the "impermissible benefits" stuff is how they're going to duck it but seeing it written out like this smacks you in the face.Bloomberg article: Proof That NCAA Doesn’t Really Want to Punish UNC Basketball for Fake Classes

The NCAA bizarrely sees academic fraud as a ‘benefit’
The college sports regulator has long been obsessed with policing athletes’ freebies—steak dinners, automobiles, the occasional cash-stuffed envelope—while overlooking egregious academic fraud. In its UNC allegations, the NCAA describes placement in fake paper classes and other forms of cheating as “impermissible benefits to student-athletes that were not generally available to the student body.”
Think about that for a moment: The NCAA is describing access to phony courses as a “benefit.” By intellectually crippling their star athletes, UNC did these young men (and women) a favor? In fact, it’s exactly the opposite. Academic fraud was a hidden penalty—granted, one that many athletes voluntarily subjected themselves to—not some kind of prize.
Yeah, you've been right all along...
They do. It's called any chemical and aerospace engineering.
I know it says it is rare for SACS to use probation but how big of a deal is the probation designation?
The financial aid accusations could be really bad for UNC. I'm surprised the Pell Grant fraud hasn't received more attention. I think that is about to change.
By the way, I hate UNC-ch as much as anyone but this is not good for the state of North Carolina and the University of North Carolina system as a whole. I know that a lot of you don't really care about either but this can be nothing but bad for the flagship university to be in danger of losing its accreditation.
