Why Thursday was a good day for Roy Williams and his program

On Thursday, North Carolina officially released the Notice of Allegations that they had received from the NCAA on May 20th. The damage? Five Level I violations, including a charge of lack of institutional control charge and broad and wide-ranging accusations of impermissible benefits. (The NCAA essentially determined that the academic fraud happening at the university was a scholastic issue and that advisors guiding athletes into those so-called ‘paper classes’ — independent study courses that were turned into sham classes in order for students, both athletes and normal members of the student body, to receive easy grades — was a benefit that was not provided to regular students.)

It’s bad, but it’s not as bad as it could have been. The men’s basketball program — one of the NCAA’s cash cows and a flagship program for the association — was not named specifically in any violation. The academic advisor for the women’s basketball team, an ex-head of the African and Afro-American Studies department and his former student services advisor were targeted in three of the five Level I violations.

Amen and amen.

UNC - truly one of the NCAA's "Sacred Cows." Notre Dame and UT are probably the most sacred of those untouchable schools to NCAA investigators.
