Texan4Auburn 1,626 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 6 hours ago, AU64 said: My son was at UNC when that was going on ....took one of those courses he admitted.....athletes came to day 1 and never showed up again until the last day with their final exams complete. "no special treatment" Ha......even the tutor told NCAA what was going on....and she got fired but nothing happened to the school. Quote In a ruling that caused head-scratching everywhere except Chapel Hill, the N.C.A.A. announced on Friday that it could not punish the university or its athletics program because the “paper” classes were not available exclusively to athletes. And your son could of done the same thing and as you said was allowed to take the course also. Thus no special treatment regarding the classes. They didn't have test though from what I understand, they were all paper classes. Quote The scheme involved nearly 200 laxly administered and graded classes — frequently requiring no attendance and just one paper https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/13/sports/unc-north-carolina-ncaa.html Also don't forget we had our own little run in with easy classes via independent study that was offered to regular students also: Quote The university cited instances in which similar misconduct was alleged at Auburn and Michigan, and the N.C.A.A. did not act. And for the tutor are you talking about the one that was steering athletes towards agents? Like Chuck Person's was? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not trying to be a jerk but sounds like different class and different issue. Cause that is not an athlete issue, as there are many white athletes at UNC. Not doubting your what your saying either.

This was a black history course...…..so yep not a racial thing....except in this class perhaps... BUT the issue I have at UNCH is that the administration mostly buried the issue and the culprits but nothing serious happened to the athletic program.

Slammer1 409 Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 What I get from all this is don't admit to any wrong doing. Let the NCAA find the proof. The saying that honesty is the best policy doesn't apply here. It gets you in trouble to admit to any wrong doing. The NCAA is an absolute joke these days. As long as Emmert is in charge they will remain a joke. JMO WDE!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
