Weber State loses 9 schollies for academic dishonesty
http://www.si.com/college-football/2014/...-professor

The NCAA has levied a variety of sanctions against the Weber State football program, including the loss of nine scholarships, it announced Wednesday.

A math instructor at Weber State admitted that she used personal login information for five athletes to complete coursework under their names. The instructors actions were discovered when another instructor saw that an athlete had "completed six quizzes and a final exam in less than one hour – an uncharacteristic pattern for that student," according to the NCAA. "That concern led to a full review of the developmental math program, and the discovery that the instructor provided assistance to other student-athletes." The athletes involved received failing grades for the class.

But, but, but. Isn't that an academic issue? You know, the type that the NCAA won't get involved with at Chapel Hill?

Great point - if all 9 are at once, they lose counter status.

UNC is likely to get something real that will go right up to the edge of the "death penalty" without the full ban from participation. Bowl bans, scholarships and other sanctions will be quite severe IMO. Committing academic fraud for the sake of athletic eligibility is probably worse in the eyes of the NCAA than recruiting financial inducements.

The NCAA is an embarrassment. They don't even try to hide their corruption.

It's nice to see a school own up to its misdeeds and not lie about it's cheating.

To be fair, the NCAA wanted to bust Miami. They just screwed up the investigation so badly that Miami would have won any appeal, so they decided to end the whole investigation before it became an even bigger money pit than it already was.

The NCAA wanted to screw it up badly, so they could drop the whole thing. It was gift wrapped for them. Only idiots could screw up that investigation. They did.

But yea Weber is getting UNC's punishment here.
