OT: UNC Scandal Update... Response Deadline EXTENDED

[RUinPinehurst]

So the longest running scandal in the history of the NCAA is back in the news, as UNC's deadline to respond to the NCAA's ANOA is Monday, July 25.

Wonder if any of the positioning and re-positioning of the scandal was influenced in any way by the overall conference re-alignment dynamic and/or the ACC Network "deal"?

If your UNC you just delay. By then all guilty parties will be long gone and the NCAA will just give slap on wrist.

Much still "up in the air" on this. The publicly circulated NOA and then the ANOA, I believe, were versions of the original NOA and ANOA that UNC created and released for public view; they were not the actual NCAA "internal" versions of those docs. The NCAA's original NOA and original ANOA may be very different docs that what were shared publicly. Remember the original NOA clearly named Men's BB and FB, yet the ANOA seems to have removed them, by name; this may just be the handy work of UNC, not the NCAA.

In any case, UNC gets to respond to the ANOA, by Monday. And then UNC will subsequently share some variation of that response via public channels. In the meanwhile, a "deal" no doubt has been brokered, using UNC's significant resources assembled for the effort, including former NCAA legal and enforcement staff. UNC will likely offer some sort of self-imposed punishment that's already been signed off on by the NCAA. So the "case" may never actually reach the NCAA's COI. But if it does, the COI may be looking at the "unredacted" version of the ANOA, i.e. the NCAA's internal doc, not the public version. But that's all speculation. We shall see. We shall see.

UNC has put everyone under such a trance and now locked in so much money until 2036, that everyone needs them to show up on Saturday's, Bentley College football will end up having to forfeit this season as punishment.

They will find that the women are guilty as hell. The men not so much. Why? $$$.

The N&O's Dan Kane Tweeted the following this afternoon:

"UNC's been given another week to respond to NCAA's NOA in academic scandal, plans to make redacted version public a day later on Aug.2."

It really is understandable that they've been given more time. It's not right that the NCAA has rushed them into responding to these allegations. They've simply not had enough time to digest and come up with a response yet.

They are using the extra week to figure out a way to pin it all on the bowling team. The chess team will also be in big trouble.

Further, the N&O's Andrew Carter reports that... "After the response, the NCAA will eventually set a date for UNC to appear before the NCAA Committee on Infractions, which serves as a the judge and jury in major NCAA infractions cases. Then, months after that appearance, the committee on infractions will issue a final ruling, which will include the penalties that UNC faces. It's unlikely that the case concludes before 2017.

I expect the NCAA will come down very hard with a good stiff slap on the wrist
