If I were UNC Greensboro, I'd be shaking in my boots.

The UNC Wilmington Women's Beach Volleyball team is expected to lose half their scholarships.

[Spotcheck Billy]

Nice timing being Friday the 13th and they are hanging a banner at Late nite with Roy Williams tonight.

NCAA determines that infractions could not conclude academic violations at UNC.

What a joke.

Don't know why I'm surprised. I shouldn't be.

[wadesworld]

The academic fraud was school wide, it wasn't just a benefit given to their student athletes.

[Norm]

But the fraud kept their players eligible.

UNC should lose their accreditation.

[Hards Alumni]

what an absolute joke.

[Loose Cannon]

  And this is the group that is selecting Commission members, Window Dressing.

They can beat the NCAA, but let them try and beat the FBI...

UNC should lose their accreditation.

In a nutshell, this was UNC's defense with the NCAA:  "This is between us and our accrediting agency, and none of the NCAA's business."

It is my understanding that the accrediting agency put them on probation, but that was concluded in 2016.

They'll use a similar defense to get out of dealing with Baylor. "That's between them and the Department of Education." Problem is the NCAA is the only one that can hit them where it hurts. Accreditation probation? Who cares? Title IX violation, sure they COULD deny federal funding but that has never happened and I doubt it ever will. If you start disrupting their athletic programs, they will actually listen. I know people are nervous about where the line is but I think there can be some common sense used in cases like this. Sure other students could take these fake classes but with the high percentage of basketball and football players taking these fake classes common sense tells you that they were being used to keep football and basketball players eligible. Yes, Baylor is accused of violating Title IX but common sense tells you that it was done to protect and benefit their football team.

No punishment for UNC. NCAA says they lack authority to punish for this. My sense is that the other presidents pushed behind the scenes knowing everyone has unclean hands.

Your sense is wrong.

It's North Carolina not St. Louis or any other mid-major. This is a joke.
Who paid off the FBI.

The FBI wasn't involved.

[CTWarrior]

So could Pitino have Adidas give a truckload of money to some random students and then say that it wasn't a privilege reserved for athletes and get away with it?

The WWE is a more legitimate athletic governing body than the NCAA

The though of Shane'o Mac bursting out out from behind closed doors to body slam Roy Williams makes me chuckle.

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

This resurfaced on Twitter today.  Fantastic if you have not seen.

This is almost entirely the result of their overreach at Penn State. How Emmert is still in place boggles the mind

[buckchuckler]

That is just magnificent, and sad, and true.

[muwarrior69]

So why are there some advocating paying the players (Jay Bilas)?  Are they not actually being paid to attend classes where they don't even have to show up so the NCAA can claim they are not employees but student athletes since the NCAA has no jurisdiction on curriculum?  What is the problem?
