According to a story by the Raleigh News & Observer, football players at the University of North Carolina took summer classes that had no instruction.
Report Dan Kane and Andrew Carter of the News & Observer:

The records show that in the summer of 2011, 19 students enrolled in AFAM 280: Blacks in North Carolina, 18 of them players on the football team, the other a former player. They also show that academic advisers assigned to athletes helped the players enroll in the class, which is the subject of a criminal investigation.
The advisers also knew that there would be no instruction.

Other records show that football and basketball players made up a majority of the enrollments of nine particularly suspect classes in which the professors listed as instructors have denied involvement, and have claimed that signatures were forged on records related to them.

Instead of instruction, students were assigned a term paper that was due at the end of the semester.
The university is currently investigating.
"While it appears that academic support staff (for student athletes) were aware that Professor (Julius) Nyang'oro didn't intend to teach the class as a standard lecture course, they knew that the students would be required to write a 15-page paper," Chancellor Holden Thorp said in a letter to trustees. "They saw no reason to question the faculty member's choice of course format."'
Thorp added that "anytime you have a class consisting solely of student-athletes, it raises questions." (Thanks to the Big Lead for the tip)

I just love how all of the off-court stuff w/the Tar Holes is getting neatly swept under the rug by the media.

Butch Davises gonna Butch Davis.

“We who lived in concentration camps can remember the men who walked through the huts comforting others, giving away their last piece of bread. They may have been few in number, but they offer sufficient proof that everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms -- to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way.”
- Viktor Frankl

UNC's football program is going to be back to what it was before Butch Davis got there with all the penalties it got --- if true, this story here may make it all the worse & (hopefully IMHO) drag that cheatin' basketball program down with it as well. Seems to me, that hoops program is at least as dirty as the football program.

I doubt we'll hear anything about this once this thread goes dormant....watch.

Let me get this straight. We're going to be "gifted" with a health care plan we are forced to purchase and will be fined for if we don't, written by a committee whose chairman says he doesn't understand it, passed by a Congress that hasn't read it but exempts itself from it, signed by a president who smokes, with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes, to be overseen by a surgeon general who is obese and financed by a country that's broke.

What could possibly go wrong?

Well, they did drop from 1st to 3rd in the Capital One Cup standings.....isn't that punishment enough? :trollface:
