UNC is implicitly racist!

For those that are interested, UNC is now getting hit a bit harder. There was a NY times feature on the front page on New Year's day. Maybe tomorrow night's blowout will be taken off the books in a couple years. If our fan base tries to forget these last few years and the NCAA takes the games off record bc of UNC's cheating, did they even happen?

If this year's UNC game had happened in front of a 2003-05 Wake student section, the signs made for this game would have been phenomenal.

"Game = AFAM280 Credit" sign would be fantastic.

Thanks, 91. The hits just keep coming for them. It might be a different ball game now that national press is taking notice. That could lead to a lot more curious minds with the resources to uncover what UNC (and local journalism) has been unwilling to. With that might come the pressure for UNC to clean up and even for the NCAA to act.

One of the biggest things from the new article is that they are calling out UNC and the NCAA for justifying fake classes for athletes bc some "regular" students also took advantage.

Interesting timing. Day after Christmas in Asheville. New Year's Day in NY Times.

When and where next?

Nobody seems to care anymore outside of NCSU fans. Cheating has become somewhat expected and acceptable in college athletics. The "penalties" levied on UNC were so insignificant that they did not place UNC in a worst position than they were in before the cheating started (which apparently went back to the Julius Peppers era) but really ramped up under Butch.

Business Week should've done more research.

In no way is UNC's football program "vaunted."
