NCAA has no jurisdiction over academic violations...
NCAA stepped on it’s d*ck...
It does if the academic violations create a competitive advantage for its athletic teams. For that reason, the NCAA had no jurisdiction in the Penn State case but it does with UNC.
The NCAA is worthless when it comes to regulating its members. The Tar Heels shouldn't get too complacent just yet. The on-going FBI investigation into the shoe company payola is the bigger threat. There are a lot of schools who are worried (and probably should be) about what will be revealed when those charged with felonies and facing long prison terms start singing. This investigation is likely to bring down a lot of big schools and big-name coaches and it wouldn't surprise me at all to see UNC caught up in this. This academic scandal at UNC shows how far it is willing to go into extreme measures to have good athletic teams.
The NCAA sanctioned Kentucky for a basketball player who allegedly took the ACT for another player to make him eligible. Is this not academic fraud?
