ESPN Article: NCAA again investigating UNC
From the article:
The NCAA has reopened its investigation into the academic scandal that has rocked North Carolina over the past three years.
"The University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, was cited by the Division I Committee on Infractions in 2012 for violations in its athletics program, including academic misconduct," the NCAA said in a statement. "As with any case, the NCAA enforcement staff makes clear it will revisit the matter if additional information becomes available. After determining that additional people with information and others who were previously uncooperative might be willing to speak with the enforcement staff, the NCAA has reopened its investigation.
The NCAA has reopened its investigation into North Carolina. Former Tar Heel Rashad McCants alleged academic fraud earlier this month.
"The enforcement staff is exploring this new information to ensure an exhaustive investigation is conducted based on all available information. The NCAA will not comment further to protect the integrity of the investigation."
More from the article:
The newspaper gathered data that showed "five members of that team ... accounted for a combined 39 enrollments in classes that have been identified as confirmed or suspected lecture classes that never met."
In the wake of the scandal, the university has instituted several academic reforms based on findings from earlier reports.
"We remain committed to learning from our past so that we can move forward to building a stronger university," athletic director Bubba Cunningham said in a statement.
