Judge Orlando Hudson needed just a little over two hours to come to his conclusion in a Durham courtroom denying an injunction and thus preventing McAdoo’s return to the field.
…
“Mr. McAdoo committed academic fraud. He is a cheater. That is what happened here,†Sun said. “The university makes the eligibility decision and that is what they did. They ruled him ineligible.
“The NCAA takes academic fraud very seriously. The university’s facts presented to NCAA show academic fraud. Presumption is (that) there should be ineligibility.”
Sun further went on an a personal attack of McAdoo saying, “McAdoo can’t meet regular standards of a student, much less higher standards expected for an exception.”
Stephanie Brennan of the Attorney General’s office and representing UNC drew up an argument of the university following due procedure.
“The University has said and continues to believe that the penalty imposed was to harsh, but university lost the appeal and respects decision,” Brennan said. “We are simply not in a position where we can declare a player unilaterally eligible.”
