If I were UofL I would inform the NCAA, see you in court. You let UNC walk for now going on nearly 6 yrs. for blatant academic fraud across nearly their entire sports programs. No, we are claiming discrimination and calling you out.

Everything a 18-21 year old male does is for sex.

Does anyone doubt this?

Never going to happen. UNC basketball was created by Ultra Leftwing shit head Dean Smith. Off limits. He is like a god here in NC.
