  • UNC Scandal?
Welcome to Our Hoosier Board!

Most of the posters here have been around for nearly a decade now. You'll find their knowledge and insight to be second to none. We have a really strong community and value everyone's opinions.

Feel free to jump into any thread and voice your opinion with conviction. We love heated debates and even some fanbase ribbing from time to time. We pride ourselves on the lack of moderation needed to make this board successful.

Please remember that we have been around many years and have an astute ability to tell the difference between an immature, childish, trash-talking troll and a passionate fan voicing his or her opinion. It is at the discretion of Jazen and myself whether any moderating actions should be taken at any given time. It's a very, very rare thing. In other words, no worries....you'll be fine!

Cheers,
sirbrianwilson

Anyone know of, or heard of, the UNC academic scandal? UNC is saying it's an in house issue, not an NCAA issue... curious what will come of this

Was this the academic fraud allegations? They have had several classes that were independant study under a single professor's African and Afro-American Studies department where some athletes, most of them football players, took courses without instruction, requiring only a paper turned in at the end. The players apparently were guided toward such courses by their academic support office, with 115 full- and part-time people housed in the new $70 million athletics center at Kenan Stadium.

"Liberal, shmiberal. That should be a new word. Shmiberal: one who is assumed liberal, just because he's a professional whiner in the newspaper. If you'll read the subtext for many of those old strips, you'll find the heart of an old-fashioned Libertarian. And I'd be a Libertarian, if they weren't all a bunch of tax-dodging professional whiners." - Berkeley Breathed

This could be HUGE. A transcript believed to be Pepper's were exposed. This could go back much further than UNC has led everyone to believe. Could also bring basketball into it.....and that could cost championships.

I trust the NCAA will do what it should. They can't allow a high profile program to escape punishment.
