N&O: NCAA’s Wilson should not be involved in UNC probe
It appears the local media has taken off the gloves…finally. From Luke Decock of the N&O: No matter whether the NCAA eventually uncovers wrongdoing within the North Carolina football program – agent-related, academic or otherwise – there’s one conclusion that can be drawn right now about the investigation of the North Carolina football program. The [...]

Friday, August 6, 2010
I have followed message boards of different college programs around the country for almost 15 years(mainly NC State, UNC and Wake Forest). Message boards are often ridiculed by the print/television/radio media, coaches, athletic directors, and even message board posters themselves. While sometimes these forums are criticized for good reasons, in regards to major news stories [...]

Obviously, much much more to come on this breaking story: UNC is under NCAA investigation for its football program. While not much regarding the substance of this investigation has yet come to light, for some time, murmurs have surrounded the Carolina football program and the practices of some of its coaches. Apparently, these are not [...]

The NCAA cites USC for a loss of institutional control, and once again you’re reminded that there’s no segment of American life in which crime pays quite as well as big-time amateur athletics. Video: Dee discusses USC violations No incentive not to cheat in college athletics Everything below this line is quoted from the previously [...]

Friday, April 16, 2010
Just when you thought the NCAA couldn’t go more crazy, it did. Thursday afternoon the NCAA Rules Oversight Panel approved three rule changes — two for 2010 and one for 2011 — that in some cases could potentially change the outcome of games based on a completely subjective decision by a referee. Beginning in 2010, [...]

Just last week SFN highlighted the difference between local recruiting budgets in this well-received entry. Almost simultaneously, the University of Tennessee’s football program came under scrutiny for the use of its Hostess Program to ‘lure’ recruits to the University. We started talking about the news in real time in this thread on our message boards. [...]

Toney Baker has been granted a 6th year, and he will likely return to play football next year…or will he? We found out that my sixth year of eligibility was approved this week, which is great. I haven’t decided what I’m going to do yet, but I’m glad to have the option to come back. [...]

“The NCAA hasn’t busted a single big-time men’s basketball program in nearly two years. It hasn’t nailed a major football program in nearly 15 months. It’s the longest stretch of compliance for the once iron-fisted organization in 46 years and the second longest ever according to an analysis of the NCAA’s major infractions database.” [...]

Something worth mentioning and keeping in mind: Taunting of Scoring Plays Might Wipe Out Touchdowns The NCAA rules committee is considering disallowing a touchdown if a player is flagged for taunting during a scoring play. Citing an increasing concern over unsportsmanlike conduct, rules committee chairman Mike Bellotti said Wednesday that his group is considering “a [...]

Once again, the darlings in Chapel Hill get a pass. Per the N&O: UNC-Chapel Hill will not face sanctions over a pickup game Tuesday. The men’s basketball team played with Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama in violation of a rule that coaches are not allowed to watch pickup games during the offseason. Division I basketball [...]
