Tell me more about the ‘bad’ NC State fans. We did a quick perusal tonight of the Twitter mentions of UNC-CHeats Chancellor Holden Thorp and were shocked at some of what we saw. (Being discussed in this thread from our message forums). A lot of crazy stands out in there…but, it is hard to top […]
UNC Scandal
Wiley’s attorney speaks
Joseph B. Cheshire V, the Raleigh lawyer representing the tutor in the middle of the academic misconduct allegations, was unhappy with the decision. “It’s a sad day for the university that they would cave in to obviously orchestrated efforts to destroy their football program,” said Cheshire, a UNC-CH alumnus, a Tar Heel fan and an […]
Butch Davis Fired (Confirmed!!!) Did 216 phone calls nail the coffin shut?
NBC report on the rumors. LRM asks: Uh…considering the timing of this (if true), then what on earth changed? To think, if this had been done last summer, the whole thing would’ve largely been forgotton (especially with the issues at Ohio State, Auburn and now Oregon). But now there will undoubtedly be penalties of […]
More from ACC Football Kickoff
-Great interview of TOB about NCAA investigations in college football: Link to must listen interview. TOB says you maintain control of your program by hiring the right staff and there is evidence that he has made good decisions in that 7(?) former assistants of his have been hired as head coaches. Somehow TOB avoided hiring […]
ACC Football Kickoff Quick Hits
The 2011 ACC Football Kickoff is ongoing in Pinehurst. Here are some quick tidbits: *The media picked Florida State and Virginia Tech to repeat as Atlantic and Coastal champions, respectively (TheACC.com), and picked State to finish third in the Atlantic (GoPack.com). *Redshirt sophomore cornerback Jarvis Byrd will miss the season with a torn ACL (WRAL.com). […]
N&O: UNC professor back home, still unavailable on McAdoo plagiarism
Chancellor Holden Thorp, in an interview last week, said he is not going to dig into Nyang’oro’s handling of the paper. “It’s very unfortunate what happened here, but I don’t get into grading for faculty members,” he said. Could you imagine if the NC State Administration had openly proclaimed they weren’t going to look into […]
A “baffled” Greg Little Addresses Tickets & Tags (Is There A License Plate Bandit or a License Plate Fairy?)
Greg Little spoke to reporters (audio from WRAL here) after a Pro-Am summer league game and was asked about the 93 parking tickets he got on 5 different cars with 9 different license plates. Point #1: 93 parking tickets with 5 different cars. Here is what Little had to say: “I know I got a […]
Butch says he will provide self-redacted 216 records “pretty soon”
As you can see in this story from the N & O, Butch plans to turn over his 216 phone records. But there is a big catch. Butch will be redacting them himself before he does so. Davis said his personal cell phone records were reviewed “completely and entirely” last fall by UNC’s counsel, and he plans to […]
A Closer Look at UNC’s NOA
Does anyone else think that it is funny that McAdoo’s plagiarism on a paper where he had already been found guilty of cheating received more press coverage than an NOA with nine major violations? Oh well, at least some in the press finally realized what the rest of us have known for the last 12 […]
UNC officials continue “cooperation” by declining to speak with WTVD plus random thoughts on local media…
We would like to give the folks from WTVD credit again. Last week, Mark Armstrong got this quote from UNC Chancellor Holden Thorpe: ‘You’re right. Nobody checked it, and I wish we had because we wouldn’t have said so strongly in the appeal hearing that the paper was his work.’ This week, WTVD apparently has […]
