Marvin Austin “working his way back on the team”

UNC Scandal16

Is this what you had in mind, Butch? How about you, Dickie, when you honored his scholarship so he wouldn’t spill the beans and keep UNC’s APR from dropping to avoid scholarship reductions could graduate?

Speaking of which…how in the world is this guy on track to graduate? In addition to taking a full load of football the last few years, we know for a fact that he was traveling the entire country for parties throughout much of the semester from the offseason and even through the summer when most people would be taking summer school classes?

How has he not failed out of school yet?

Oh…I almost forgot…he has tutors to help him with that.

Marvin Austin, free from rigors of Tar Heel football, managed to get on stage with rapper Rick Ross and the circle is now complete. Austin infamously tweeted a line from one of Ross’ songs, referring to bottle service at Club LIV in Miami, that probably helped launch the NCAA investigation hanging over Chapel Hill.

Great lessons the ‘leadership’ at UNC are teaching these kids — take thousands of dollars of illegal benefits that get you and our program in a trouble so deep that many are calling it the worst scandal in the history of the ACC; cheat on your academics; lie to the NCAA and others when asked about your behavior — and the school will make sure that we keep paying for your education!

    OU players starting to talk, we can only wonder when the UNC players will start talking also? Yahoo got article on Blake! Turning out UNC hired dirtiest coach in NCAA history as this is turning out to be biggest scandle in recent NCAA football history not just ACC. Here is the link:

    UNC deserves nothing less than the fate of SMU in the 80s…Hope the NCAA can grow a set and lay the law down…if the baby blue mafia doesn’t intervene first.

    Well, he’s always looked like a fat ‘Lil John to me anyway. Maybe he’s thinking about rapping, rather than football? Fitting.

    You know he’s hitting the books every day, though. He’s a very appreciative person. So thankful for his education. And talk about remorseful? Just a stand up guy.

    Noticed a new shop in Norfolk the other day. “Carolina Cupcakes.” I busted out laughing and wife just looked at me. I explained it to her and she just shrugged and shook her head. I’ll see if I can get a picture this week.

    To even cast these “gangstas” as students makes a mockery of those who are there working there a$$es off to get a degree, even if it is from the Carborro Technical Institute. When I was at state 20 years ago, the players at least went to class on a semi regular basis….

    They’re victims, mushypulp. Victims.

    Maybe I’m playing devil’s advocate here, but I don’t ever remember the NCAA firing a football coach. Nobody fired Blake (not publically, anyway). Thorp isn’t going to fire Davis. BADdour isn’t going to fire Davis. Davis isn’t going to quit. So how is Coach Davis going to be turned out?

    I think Davis is as dirty as a Sampson County hog lagoon, but it seems to me that every week that passes, more UNC players return, and I’m beginning to believe that those folks over on the Hill do walk on water. If this had happened at any other ACC school, maybe except for FSU, heads would’ve rolled like dice at Vegas.

    61 you are correct and still not a peep out of the ACC office and Swofford…..how the ncaa handles this situation will be very interesting. I still think Davis is gone because of the embarrassment to the academic side of the university. The academics will demand his removal privately. The ncaa will have to use a somewhat heavy hand or it looses a great deal of power to control other programs. The new ncaa commissioner will be the key to the whole situation.

    I feel it all goes deeper than the coaches,the AD and Thorpe.There are people behind the so called carolwhina way that we no nothing about.I think it’s administrators,boosters,fans,and alumi that contribute to this myth…..yes it was going on when Dean was there as well.I know when my wife graduated from unc(80’s)…she said some of the players(basketball,football) wouldn’t graduate…..WHA..LA walked across the stage just like she did….yes she was pissed. See…it’s nothing new guys been going on for along time.

    “The ncaa will have to use a somewhat heavy hand or it looses a great deal of power to control other programs.”

    Agreed. UNC has essentially been defiant and the players have lied to the investigators. If the NCAA doesn’t hit this with a heavy hammer, a precedent will be set for other programs to thumb their noses at the NCAA.

    I’m glad you had commentary to go with the picture or I would have wondered what a screen shot from the A-Team had to do with anything. I pity the fool…

    do the “student FB and BB atehetes” at unc take regular classes or are these classes set up mainly for them.and who “teaches” these classes.anyone know?

    I’ve been teaching at the University level for about 6 years now, and at two different D1 institutions. I don’t know for sure, but I have never heard of courses that are ‘set up’ for athletes. Although there are plenty of courses that have reputations for being easy, which any student can enroll in. I imagine that advisors in these athletic programs know exactly what courses are easy and they steer student-athletes into them.

    I also want to point out that I have taught several student-athletes and a lot of them were as good, if not better, than the regular students. I think the high profile athletes can give the rest of them a bad reputation. Just wanted to put that out there as I see a lot of people grouping all of these athletes together, and I just don’t think that is fair.

    From the Yahoo article, sounds like Mr. Blake may have less than honest in his testimony to the NC Secretary of State if what his former players say is true. Perjury anyone?
