The UNC System = UNC-Chapel Hill, then and now.

And, yes, UNC-CH wanted VERY MUCH to destroy NCSU sports, and that is what they did. At that time, we had a more popular basketball coach, we had won the ACC regular season in 1989, and we routinely beat UNC in football.

UNC-CH did not specify that we hire Robinson and O'Cain, but they forced us to adopt weird recruiting and academic self-restrictions that made the job unpalatable to anyone good. And they also installed a UNC-CH AD whose focus was to de-emphasize revenue sports and bean-count us toward a low-revenue, low-expense balanced budget.

I'm sure UNC recruited the dumbest players in the ACC and graduated 100% of them, with most of them majoring in AFAM, chaired by Nyang'oro, back then with no fraud while everyone else recruited smarter players and couldn't graduate 100% of them.

In 20 years, some wide-eyed State kid will say to you, "no way State fans wanted to destroy one of their own state's flagship universities," and you will ponder whether to bother explaining it or to just let him believe what he wants. When that happens, you will remember I said this to you.

Regardless of what you believe (and I don't particularly care), I am informing you what we believe. If you want to know why we are doing this, I have explained it about as plainly as I can. This is revenge for 1990. Simple as that. Further discussion of 1990 should take place via PM, as I doubt Kentucky fans give a rat's ass.

Hey, I'm passionate about my school. You'd do the same if it was UK and a bunch of Louisville fans had dedicated their entire lives to creating conspiracy theories online and sending them to a new group of media outlets each day.

To be honest though these are much more than a conspiracy theory. It does look like their were a bunch of fraud classes that a lot of athletes ended up taking due to academic counselors that had a connection to the ATHLETIC department. Does it look fishy? Uh yeah but I'm in no way jumping to conclusions just yet. I'll wait for the report.

A unc man who does not wear baby blue glasses when he types,  you are a breath of fresh air dude.

Really can't same the same for you.

If we are irrelevant for the next 20 years I'm not going to be thinking oh those ****ing State fans. It's sad if you actually believe what you just typed. Let me guess you also believe the officials help us whenever we play you?

Good news for UCONN, they'll never have to worry about low APR scores ever again.

No, not at all.  The information I'm referring to came from UNC themselves.  Again, you should take the time to educate yourself on the matter.  If you choose not to, then that is certainly your perogative and I fully understand why you would make that decision.

In light of continuing speculation about the role of the NCAA in the review of academic issues in the Department of African and Afro-American Studies, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is providing the following information:

“The University first notified the NCAA that it had identified potential academic issues involving student-athletes in African and Afro-American Studies courses on August 24, 2011.  We asked the NCAA to join us in our investigation of these issues, and they agreed to do that. A member of the NCAA enforcement staff traveled to Chapel Hill several times in the fall of 2011 and participated throughout the investigation.

With the NCAA enforcement staff, our internal working group of University Counsel Leslie Strohm, Senior Associate Dean Jonathan Hartlyn, and former faculty athletics representative Jack Evans interviewed faculty and staff in the Department of African and Afro-American Studies, academic support counselors, and student-athletes who had taken multiple courses in the department. 

Based on the joint review, UNC and the NCAA staff concluded there were no violations of current NCAA rules or student-athlete eligibility issues related to courses in African and Afro-American Studies. As a result, the NCAA did not add any allegations or include this issue during the University’s appearance in October 2011 before the Committee on Infractions.

College of Arts and Sciences Dean Karen Gil subsequently commissioned a review of courses in African and Afro-American Studies. In May, the University publicly issued that report and provided it to the NCAA.

On Aug. 23, 2012, University Counsel Leslie Strohm and Senior Associate Dean Jonathan Hartlyn provided an update to the enforcement staff.  The NCAA staff reaffirmed to University officials that no NCAA rules appeared to have been broken.

University officials will continue to keep the NCAA informed as developments warrant.”
