    Per the NCAA: one-year postseason ban, scholarship reductions, vacation of wins, and a nine-game suspension for head coach Larry Brown.

    A former assistant men’s basketball coach encouraged a student-athlete to enroll in an online course to meet NCAA initial eligibility standards and be admitted to the university. After he enrolled in the course, a former men’s basketball administrative assistant obtained the student’s username and password then completed all of his coursework. The student-athlete received fraudulent credit for the course and, as a result, competed while ineligible during his freshman season. When speaking with NCAA enforcement staff, the student-athlete admitted that the former administrative assistant asked him to provide false information during the interview. In its decision, the panel noted it is very troubled that academic advising was administered by athletics staff.

    LOL…for

      ONE

    student. Kind of makes you wonder what the penalty will be for 20 years of them. I’m guessing not much at all.

    Maybe a suspension of 10 games for a ballboy?

    Almost every comment on this story on ESPN.com mentions the Holes. This has finally reached a critical mass among general sports fans.

    They taught him better than this. You’re supposed to get the faculty chair and ethics professor involved to help keep this stuff covered up

    Memory serves me….wasn’t the aforementioned Mr. Brown one of the TOP (if not the very top…as MJ was REALLY not interested in a pay cut) Candidate on DES’s Short List memo to Dickie Baddour.

    Even Dickie smelled the stench…..

    You gotta LOVE IT.

    I WILL HELP FUND a Crying Larry Brown Bobble Head Doll….and suggest that WE donate the proceeds to OUR Pep Band….

    Doubt that AD Yow would let us distribute them…..but it would be GREAT for the UNC game.

    YES, I am a bit over the top…..

    Based on murder sentences, if you kill one person, you are likely to get the death penalty, if you murder 3 or more, you are insane and sentenced to life in prison, most likely getting out early for good behavior. u*NC is insane and will receive a reduced sentence.

    Alpha,

    Au Contre…..

    Rob (Hey….I NEVER saw Reille when I was EMBEDDED (note Johnny boy was BEDDING – after their first drink – Reille) Christensen has written a piece on this….

    You see, it was “Underfunding” and that PESKY legislature that is meddling. NOW, I am NOT a fan of the BOG….but, at least there are a FEW folks there that have some brains. Mr. Fennewhatever has spent several hundred grand to get to be the Chairman. NOW they (the Legislature) want to take THAT away.

    It was OK, when the BOG was totally dominated by the UNC Dems appointed by the NC Dem Legislature. They had their secret handsakes, their secret exotic dancers, etc. BUT, now, let someone call for SUNSHINE and a little transparency…..and BINGO….a Vast Right Wing Conspiracy. Next thing you know….someone will want to check Mr. Fennewhatever’s email server….the one in his bathroom closet.

    This is totally rich….

    Agreed, Adventuroo…It is so funny watching the “pots who have been in office in NC for years screwing things up calling the “kettles crooks”…Fact is, show me an NC politician that isn’t a crook…I think it’s “inbred” or maybe it’s the BBQ sauce!
