You know, four years ago, I would not have imagined that we would ever get to this point. And if not for the dogged efforts of Dan Kane and a few Wolfpackers, we wouldn’t have. But I now can legitimately see an outcome that topples that worthless university to the ground. With the ramifications for the O’Bannon lawsuit, APR, and the like, the NCAA has no choice but to act or implode. And even if they choose to implode, I still don’t see this ending for *NC. There is too much blood in the water. I think that a class action suit by former players is becoming a distinct possibility. An intrepid reporter can also still blow open the connection between the corrupt university and the corrupt state government, which has heretofore not been touched.
My mind goes back to the time when I was a freshman at State, and was visiting a friend at a Chapel Hill frat party. I watched Julius Peppers and some buddies roll up to the party in a new Dodge Durango, tinted windows, rims, speakers blasting. That’s when I knew that it was true, that those things I had heard people say about “benefits” to Heel players were real. There was no attempt to hide it, it was out in the open, because they knew they were above reproach. That was sixteen years ago, we’ve come a long long way.
