CNN’s analysis sadly is what many have thought was the case at many schools, not just UNC-CH. Institutional denial to a newspaper article is not surprising, frankly you would expect it. Coach Roy’s comments however, show to me that he is out of touch with the issue when he questions the validity of the article and denies that the school has accepted student-athletes with such low academic capabilities. Can someone explain his statement about allowing any of his players to look after his grandchildren? The question here is not about the content of the student-athlete’s character. The question concerns their academic accomplishments and ability to do college level work while playing a physically and time demanding sport.
