Hell, that's what I've been saying for 6 years now.

RE: UNC issues. Tiger related
On a semi related note --- Player allegations at North Carolina continue -- from late yesterday >>>
http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball...ic-scandal
...102Jamz (102.1 FM in Greensboro, N.C.) posted audio from a caller who identified himself as former UNC defensive lineman Tydreke Powell, a member of the team from 2007-11. The radio station's official website identified the caller as Powell, and CBSSports.com has a copy of the audio but we have not been able to confirm the caller's identity at this time.
That warning aside, these are some very alarming quotes from the former Tar Heel regarding the academic scandal at UNC.
"If you ain't inside of there, you don't know what's going on. But Butch Davis came into a meeting one day and he said, 'If y'all came here for an education, you should've went to Harvard,'" Powell told the show's hosts.
"It ain't that we go in there and say, 'We want to take African-American studies.' How did we know about it? They put it on the table for us...these coaches, man, [they say], 'We're going to get you three and out of here.'"
Powell also said that he took one of the "paper classes" offered by the African-American Studies department, though he graduated with a degree in communications.
Then came what the radio hosts called "the million dollar question." Did Roy Williams know about the academic scandal?
"Man...man, you know he knows," Powell replied. "Roy Williams is a snake, man."
He continued: "If you ain't got a class with a basketball player, you better go find one. If you got one with them, you know it's an 'A.'"
Powell then offered a story about taking a class with a basketball player -- the radio station has bleeped the player's name from the audio -- and getting all of the test answers from him after the player got another student to take the test for him...

Selective enforcement.
We mowed down Michigan State, Texas and UCLA and had Kansas on the ropes.
You just can't do that if you aren't an elite school.

Just for consistency, I suggest the NCAA save face, and retroactively reinstate Memphis' 2008 record. We all know they aren't going to take either UNC or KU's championships.

Mark Emmert should've been fired the second he made the PSU sanctions known. Ridiculous man.

this is what happens when you keep trying to put NCAA schools in the old english model of student athletes. This isn't Cambridge and Oxford rowing team while they go to Med School.
