Tar Heels Emerge Unscathed From #FakeClasses Scandal …
The University of North Carolina men’s basketball program escaped NCAA sanctions this week in connection with a lingering academic fraud case.
The school – which essentially funneled athletes into #FakeClasses (a.k.a. “paper courses”) in an effort to keep them eligible for competition – will get to keep all of its scholarships, maintain its postseason eligibility and will not be required to give up any of its victories (including its recent national championships).
What a joke, right? Right …
“While student-athletes likely benefited from the so-called ‘paper courses’ offered by North Carolina, the information available in the record did not establish that the courses were solely created, offered and maintained as an orchestrated effort to benefit student-athletes,” NCAA panel leader (and SEC commissioner) Greg Sankey said in a statement. “The panel is troubled by the university’s shifting positions about whether academic fraud occurred on its campus … however, NCAA policy is clear. The NCAA defers to its member schools to determine whether academic fraud occurred and, ultimately, the panel is bound to making decisions within the rules set by the membership.”

Nothing new.. All athletes get class credit for "on-line" NOTHING courses that can be done by an alter-ego prompter (cheater.)
ReplyDelete5:01 is correct! I Was a midshipman at the US Naval Academy 1970 to 1974. Regular midshipmen (students to you) had to endure four years of military training and discipline. The members of the football team had special "training tables" where they received the best, highest price food, and were given special dispensation in classes and were exempt from most military drills and formations. Tell me about it!
