USF sucks when it comes to cheating. Small potatoes.
Here in the land of the Tarholes, cheating works on a factory scale. UNC responded to the NCAA Second Amended Notice of Allegations today:
1.
The courses in issue (the “Courses”) were available to all students in the same manner. No special arrangements were made for student-athletes in violation of NCAA extra-benefit legislation.
Translation: If we let everybody cheat, the NCAA can't say we gave athletes extra benefits.
2.
Student-athletes were not treated differently than other students who took the Courses. All students who took the Courses were required to write one or more research papers.
Translation: We let anybody turn in a plagiarized or sub-elementary school one paragraph term paper. We even made people available to write one for them. What's the big deal.
3.
The Courses originated in the Department and not the Department of Athletics.
Translation: If you want to cheat, let the academicians do it for you.
4.
That no one in the Department of Athletics took improper advantage of the Courses. There is no allegation that any coach or employee of the Department of Athletics violated a bylaw or directed a student-athlete to take one of these courses.
Translation: No coach in any sport across parts of three decades had any idea that thousands of students were taking fake classes.
5.
That the issues before this Panel were academic in nature and the result of inadequate academic oversight unrelated to the Department of Athletics.
Translation: Whatever. The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Committee on Colleges (“SACSCOC”), the University’s academic accreditor, has already let UNC off with a slap on the wrist. So who is the NCAA to tell them what kind of classes to run.
This is how you put over 1500 athletes through fake classes and get off scot-free. USF needs to take some lessons.
