It’s called The Carolina Way.

When this stuff really hits the fan UNC will be (should be) forced to vacate about 5-10 years worth of football and basketball games. That would include two NCAA titles for the hoops team.

With UNC a media darling, especially ESPN, look for a cover up or a quick excuse from the NCAA that this wasn’t a lack of institutional control.

If this were any other school, save Duke, this would have already happened.

As a huge fan of college basketball, I always smirked when people like Dick Vitale would whine about players leaving early for the pros. For most of them, considering their dismal academic capabilities, that was probably their best option. If you're an athlete at a bigtime school, and you are offered a million or more dollar contract, you better take it. Because if you break a leg or get some other serious injury, that money will not be there.

A great many of them simply don't belong in a university classroom. One and done is the rage now, and while it makes a joke of the college-is-the-best-thing-for-everybody scam, it's what is best for most of those dullards who probably couldn't get a decent job anywhere if they couldn't bounce a basketball or carry a football.

I’m assuming the death threats were verbal and not written.

Great schadenfreude over this UNC FAIL.

[DPMD]

Of course, most of the threats were badly misspelled and had atrocious syntax.

Redundant! "reading age of a 3rd Grader" should be "3rd grade reading ability"

Try this, it will bring college football players into “focus.”

Wow! I knew it was low, but not that low. Figues though. These gifted athletes have been kowtowed to their whole lives.

I like that term... “revenue athletes”.
