Come on you have to give them credit for a brilliant Legal strategy in defending their actions. Simply put, damn right we give fake classes to our athletes. But we also proudly give them to regular students. So F off and go away. I always thought it had a Zen like quality to it.
You think it was brilliant that a highly regarded, secondary, learning institution came up with a loophole to escape penalty after depriving students of the education they were supposed to receive? SMDH.
Good for Mack Brown for having a set and telling the NCAA it sucks ass.
Disagree. Two wrongs dont make a right. This reminds me of misusing the legal system to pursue an enemy on trumped up charges. Always do the right thing the right way within the bounds of the rules and the law. Don't punish a person or an entity because you don't like them, feel they deserve it or they got off easy in another situation. But there are groups of people who feel this type of behavior is perfectly OK when they see a purportedly bad person or entity being punished.
"It’s understandable that UNC is upset about this outcome, but this is a process that was specifically spelled out to the NCAA membership back in January. It was going to take the most extreme of circumstances for a two-time transfer waiver to be granted for immediate eligibility. As of last week, only about 18 percent of waiver requests for two-time transfers in all sports have been approved for this academic year.

I don’t get the feeling that will be released when you read the statement about respecting privacy issues.
How do you know he hasn’t practiced with the Team yet ? I believe he is on the roster.

Welcome to the University of Non Compliance. Rules and following those rules are for suckers.From The Athletic:
NCAA statement: "UNC’s behavior and decision to wage a public relations campaign is inappropriate and outside the bounds of the process UNC’s own staff supported. Had the UNC staff not behaved in this fashion and submitted this information weeks ago, this entire unfortunate episode could have been avoided.”
“Despite the school’s many chances to do so,” is just so petty — and without more clarity on this newfound “information,” it’s difficult to know if the NCAA is being serious here or is just peeved at UNC for publicly calling it out over this entire ordeal. The fact that new NCAA president Charlie Baker personally signed the bottom of the statement leads me to believe it’s the latter. Talk about sour grapes."
Et tu Rutgers?????
NCAA grants UNC's Walker immediate eligibility
WR Tez Walker was initially denied a transfer waiver in August and again in Sepembter when UNC appealed the decision.
Stein is running for governor to replace outgoing Roy Cooper. Both are Democrats. BTW, Cooper had also engaged the NCAA on UNC's behalf. So there's that....
