For months, The Carolina faithful — aided by, among others, the vocal Dick Vitale and Jay Bilas — campaigned for the NCAA to #FreePJ. In the end, it turned out it wasn’t the NCAA, but in fact The Flagship, that wouldn’t #FreePJ. It’s just another in a growing list of examples of The Flagship’s athletics […]
This is truly abhorrent. Many folks call The Carolina Way a myth — but it’s not. Believing a myth can be innocent, borne of ignorance. In fact, The Carolina Way is a giant, perpetuated lie that has bred a culture that believes no ethical or moral sacrifice is too great to ensure athletic superiority. The […]
There will surely be more in-depth analysis of the Martin Report, but here are some related comments and initial responses since it’s release this morning. Full 74-page document here. Holden Thorp (WTVD): “The hard questions have been asked and today we’re here to get the answers.” Jim Martin (WRAL): “(There is) no confirmation for speculation […]
We learn a little more this evening about the shake up which saw Matt Kupec and Tami Hansbrough lose their travel vouchers, and UNC-CH Chancellor Holden Thorp announce his intentions to get out while the getting was good. He might wish to re-think his spring/summer timeline because the N&O’s Dan Kane peels back another […]
The N&O’s Dan Kane keeps the heat on, keeping the stench from southern Orange County in the public eye (or nose, as it were). Overnight he reported that UNC-CH Chancellor Holden Thorp appeared before the university faculty at the first Faculty Council meeting of the new academic year. Despite the fresh start of a new […]
The local media outlets today are reporting at least part of what was forged from yesterday’s double secret behind closed door meeting of the UNC System BOG panel. It’s hard to believe it took 5+ hours for this. I’m going to paste some quotes below, but please click the links and read both in their […]
The N&O’s Dan Kane continues to keep the pressure on and keep the NEW Carolina Way in the public eye. This go ’round he seems to want us to be aware of some recent personnel changes within the UNC-CH academic support program for athletes (is that an oxymoron or what?). Pasted below are a few […]
It’s a surreal world we occupy when the N&O, Gregg Doyel and #WPN are all working together. For decades we’ve endured the arrogant elitism of The Carolina Way, knowing it never passed muster. And now, after their precious creed has failed them, the UNC faithful have responded mostly with passive indifference and refused to be […]
If you haven’t already, catch up with all the recent batch of shenannigans over at The Flagship here (Rogueapalooza). Clearly, UNC was swindled (again) by a rogue, but now Thorp means business and wants his money back (WRAL): CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — The University of North Carolina wants a professor at the center of an […]
It’s Friday, and Butch Davis is gone and Dick Baddour on his way out, but unfortunately for the Flagship, this is far from over. Specifically, questions remain regarding those 216 phone records. Joe Ovies: The phone records now appear to be caught in a semantics game. North Carolina technically reviewed Davis’ personal phone records, but […]
