In its most recent ploy, UNC was turned back in its legal appeal to remove SEC's Greg Sankey from the NCAA infractions panel that is set to hear the school's case, involving FIVE Level 1 infractions including LOIC.
UNC sought this change on grounds of conflict of interest, per Sankey's ties to the SEC, and some sort of subtextual blood feud with the ACC. Say what?
Sankey remains and stated, on behalf of the NCAA, that "There will be no further delays, and the case will be heard on this schedule."
Per an article from the N&O, "UNC must respond to the latest charges by May 16. The NCAA enforcement staff then has until July 17 for its own response. Sankey wrote that his panel will hear the case in August with "anticipated" dates of Aug. 16 and 17."
