Amazing... couldn't have written it better myself... how does that only get an A-??
How UNC isn't on major sanctions yet is a testament to the hypocrisy of the NCAA.
How was that not an A+? Reading that it is as if I were right there, eavesdropping on the conversation between Rosa Parks and the bus driver.
Roy Williams to Marquette
It's a nice prologue. Do we jump into the action on the next page???
She's a hack with a grudge and is about to be exposed as that.
She violated the terms of her research and never had approval to do some of what she actually did and has shared (illegally) private data with reporters.
UNC is about to expose her for what she is. She's been dubbed a whistleblower to try to hide from the facts.
She's trying to cash in on a big payday as part of the NCAA lawsuit and is also writing a book.
She's not a professor or a researcher...she was part of the academic support team and used flawed (by the testing company's own guidelines) and incomlete tests to base all her"findings" on.
She did not receive IRB approval for her research and is now attacking to cover her rear end because she violated privacy laws.
Don't believe anything this woman says.
And just to support my statement:
My son who is now a surgeon in DC is a UNC grad who turned down Yale, Princeton and Stanford to accept a Morehead Scholarship to UNC.
I still. have many connections at UNV who have kept me in the loop about this.
UNC is a very good school academically and this disparagement is going to have legal repercussions.

UNC is a great academic institution. A Morehead scholarship is on the level of Ivies and Standford. Congrats to your son.
But this has nothing to do with that. It has to do with keeping football and basketball players eligible.
It is no way degrades the school or your sons achievements.
Look at UW ... see Brent Moss and see Macerutues McGee. Does anything think UW is now on the level of an SEC school because of these incidents.
UNC will survive, and this problem will be corrected, probably with a sanction to their programs. So what.
Dude didn't even end the quote with quotation marks. Guess that's where the minus came from.

Brent Moss has an Auburn rejection letter, Sir
Actually I have a close friend that worked for the baseball team at UNC and said he routinely wrote papers for the players.
What I didn't say is that this is all about an African American Studies program and was already looked into by NCAA and UNC and corrections were made almost two years ago....
No new sanctions are coming, NCAA has already said it's over and UNC is being very proactive to fix what went wrong and it was honestly no different than easy A courses that MU had when I was there....
She's trying hard to make it something it wasn't and the classes were open to all students....sort of like a certain art history and music appreciation class many of my friends took at MU.

I wish. Champions in 5 years.
The last sentence has a correct use of "they're." As a high school and community college English teacher, I'd award an A- just for that.

Respect the process
Takes a long time, unfortunately. I know people like to say major schools never get hit or hurt, but Kentucky, USC, Ohio State, Minnesota, Arizona State, Tennessee, Alabama, etc might beg to differ. All have been hit with heavy sanctions over the years and all took a bit hit as a result.
How to get an A- at Duke (cleaner version)

Everyone I knew took History of Jazz while at Marquette. Athlete or not. You would have been stupid not to. It was an easy A, zero effort.
I remember during the tournament one year, Jerel McNeal was shooting free-throws and the graphic on the screen listed his favorite class: History of Jazz :D
Actually, to be honest, the athletes were the only ones that did show up to that class (as their attendance was being reported I'm sure). I remember feeling guilty about not going to class one day, so I showed up mid semester, and there were 5 people in the room listening to the guy lecture off the projection screen. Two of them were Dameon Mason and Chris Grimm, snoozing their way through the smooth jazz esembles of the early 1920's.

When I was there you pretty much had to be an athlete to take it because athletes got to register first and the class filled up so fast. It was a joke, but nothing compared to what happens at a lot of other schools.
Hahaha, the conversation went like this.
