The real banana republic is north Carolina. The failure to lead and demand accountability has been bipartisan. The heel “footprint” is amazing and embarrassing. If you want to know why great evil is possible look at the old north state…and look at how nothing is being done at the highest leadership levels here. Heck, its certainly possible I am wrong and these leaders are being 100% honest and forthright…but the following appears true:
1. McAdoo plagiarized a paper.
2. Baddour stood in front of the NCAA and said it was his work.
3. A tutor – who happened to tutor butch Davis’ son…was found to be involved in paying parking tickets for a UNC player.
4. The former assistant hc at UNC john Blake – was given a show cause for being a de facto runner.
5. UNC’s recommended punishment didn’t include a bowl Ban.
This is just the early stuff. If there was ever a case for shutting down an athletic department this is it. And if this type of thing is prevalent (which it may be),college sports should be terminated or truly reformed.
