Did we not get two years probation, loss of scholarships and reduced recruiting for having a GA spend time working with players during the summer?
I guess the standards are little lower in the ACC.
It's amazing. You read it everywhere. Their academics are in tatters, but basketball is safe. UNC's PR team is working overtime to create the narrative that basketball is safe at UNC at Chapel Hill. Yesterday Pat Forde with Yahoo discussed Roy Williams lack of concern that basketball will face any issues because, ".. the 2005 championship should not be vacated and that even if players were given no credit for the AFAM classes, they still would have been eligible." Ignoring the fact that these players used those classes to float their 12 hour minimum full-time student status as well as their GPA. He makes remarks that he knows could only be proven wrong across the board by information that he knows UNC will fight forever as FERPA protected. Except he is wrong. They are already proven wrong in at least one case. Rashad McCants' transcript decimates that argument. His final year at UNC McCants took two valid classes at UNC and failed them both. Every other class was an AFAM paper class that was listed in the Wainstein report as fake.
Roy William's assertion that "if players were given no credit for the AFAM classes, they still would have been eligible." is asinine. According to ESPN, " A copy of McCants' university transcript, labeled "unofficial" and obtained by "Outside the Lines," shows that in his non-African-American Studies classes, McCants received six C's, one D and three F's." This would have given McCants a cumulitive GPA of 1.3, with him leaving UNC as a Freshman with 27 credit hours after three years at UNC. Minus AFAM he would not have made the academic progress needed to maintain eligibility and his GPA would have had him sitting at home in Ashville learning a life lesson about applying himself
