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

The anti-schadenfreude schadenfreude to be displayed on boards around the ACC today will be amazing.
 
I know it won't happen, but could these "member institutions" - State, Duke, Wake, etc - file some sort of appeal? Or could the ACC come up with penalties of its own?
 
Will there be any outrage from the general public? Will non-sports news outlets get on this story?

The implications of this are dire for higher education. There's no imperative for universities to actual educate their athletes.
 
Member schools decide? Fire up the free classes. Let's do this.
 
So the NCAA's argument is that since everybody cheated (non student athletes and student-athletes), nobody cheated? So if Louisville had non-athlete students participate in the stripper parties it would have been legal? If non-athlete students were paid by bag-men it would have been legal?

Rationale is that while student athletes benefited from the paper classes, so did all the students, so there's nothing to see here. Plus the NCAA defers to member schools to determine if it's academic fraud or not.

So why doesn't every school just set up paper classes, let anyone take them, funnel athletes into them, and then simply conclude it wasn't fraud?

The NCAA literally said that's acceptable.

That is the only conclusion available. Could you get academic credit for playing sports? I believe band members get credit for being in band.
