So, yet another scandal arises with the UNC football program. This time around 13 or 14 players caught selling their limited edition Jordan tennis shoes, for on average of over $2,000.00 a pair. The UNC coach now says that the 'players' should take responsibility of their actions, this, while he hand picks the limited games they will have to sit out. How many repeated velvet gloved slaps on the wrist does this team (and coach) get from the NCAA?

Originally posted by Braves'86 View PostI'm on board with the staggered suspensions. The point is to punish the guilty players, not the entire team.

Re: UNC Football Players in the shoe business.
Selling tennis shoes is against the rules, but the coach decides on the punishment.
Yet the school handing out A grades for bogus classes doesn't get a punishment.
How the hell can they still be an Association of American Universities school?

Re: UNC Football Players in the shoe business.
It's common knowledge in this state that UNC can get away with just about anything, especially their basketball program. it goes way back to the Dean Smith days when winning brought in truckloads of dollars and underground recruiting brought in kids who only qualified because someone "massaged" SAT scores and transcripts. The A grades in the no meeting classes taught by people with questionable credentials followed. UNC self reported and was issued a gentle slap on the wrist. Alums I know won't discuss the subject/pretend it never happened/try to convince people that Duke's infractions were far more serious/Drink copious volumes of Johnny Walker Red and eat rare beef to keep from talking.
