Are you frigging kidding me? The best team money can buy. Oh well, we'll never get there, at least not until schools like them clean up their act.
North Carolina, getting praised for over coming all the distractions.

They are a huge brand. NCAA will protect them as best it can.
Amen. The NCAA hypocrisy is nauseating!
NCAA is about to cave on academics, saying it is all up to the school. Who are we, the NCAA says, to challenge the academic content of a given course, or challenge the academic standing of a player if the school is OK with him or her? So now kids can enroll in correspondence courses, and it was be OK with the NCAA if it is OK with the school. Not to mention having grad assistants "help" them. Means schools like Stanford can fish lower in the stream now.

Rafferty is a hopeless shill, talking about Roy Williams and the program having done nothing wrong and having to push through all the adversity and focus on basketball. What those kids need to focus on is getting a decent education that prepares them for life (hard to do when NC provides academic trap doors to insure eligibility).
No they don't , these kids need to focus on basketball and winning on Monday night .
I am perplexed at the holier than thou attitude many Rutgers fans have . Newsflash : a large majority of our players are not some great scholars . They take easy classes and do what they have to stay eligible . This happens everywhere .
Some kids take advantage of the academic opportunities , most don't . And when you dedicate yourself to a sport hours a week , how much time does one really have for a school ?
Us fans are in this to watch exciting sports , not to watch a kid write an English paper . College sports with academics is a sham . The system is shady , but hey I love the games.
At Duke, nearly all the players are sociology majors, with classes just for them. You have to screw up seriously to run into academic problems your whole career. Have to give props to the players that actually do take academic courses--some every year that want to major in what they, not Duke wants. Would guess there are ways for kids at RU to get a degree with minimal effort, in return for toiling away at basketball for four years. Would be interesting to look at the guy that stayed 3 or 4 years the last decade, and see what they are doing with their lives. Used to be said of UNLV that guys that used up their eligibility found jobs parking cars. Hope RU does better by its basketball players.

Remember the phrase that was often used about how Rutgers could manage to not make the NCAA tournament by accident once in the last 25 years? It could also apply to how the filthy UNC program is allowed to get away with what it gets away with:
Nobody that cares matters and nobody that matters cares.
Nobody that cares matters and nobody that matters cares.
NC fans crying about the refs cheating,lol, you can't make this $hit up. Pot calling the kettle black?
