For Sale: The Carolina Way

I imagine it won’t take long for this to get yanked from eBay, but until then, it’s pretty damned funny. I think the description part of the auction item could’ve used a bit of commentary, but hey, everyone’s a critic.

Current bid is $2.25. I’m not sure it would sell for even that.

    The UNC “The Carolina Way” Reputation auction item was taken down by eBay early this morning, but not before it had been viewed over 23,000 times with bids placed 26 times totaling $35.00. Viewing momentum had reached a rate of approximately one view every three seconds.

    A “UNC The Carolina Way Reputation” Google search shows the auction was being reported by sites beyond just the various regional college sports boards at NC State, Wake Forest, Duke, Georgia Tech, Clemson, and ECU.

    As an opportunity to take one last poke-of-fun at UNC, a $35.00 contribution will be sent to the NCAA designated for the Committee on Infractions. It will be interesting to see whether they accept the donation.

    Thanks very much for participating in the auction, either by viewing or bidding- it was a lot of harmless fun, and maybe, just maybe we made an amusing point about a very serious matter – the lack of institutional control at Carolina, the hypocrisy of the UNC Administration, and the real meaning of “The Carolina Way.”

    Best regards,
