The reporting that Dan Kane started in 2010 is finally garnering some national attention from non-sports outlets. Last week, the The NY Times, and today, BloombergBusinessweek: The corruption of academics at the University of North Carolina’s Chapel Hill campus could turn into the most revelatory of all of the undergraduate sports scandals in recent memory. […]
For those in the SFN community catching back up today while watching college football (and/or maybe nursing a nasty hangover), here’s a few things you may have missed: *The SFN Forums are BACK! Click here to head on over and peruse the topics being discussed. It’s still being tinkered with, so please leave a comment […]
Coming on the ‘heels’ of this fantastic must-read article, the New York Times jumps in. There is nothing majorly new here…except this is national attention. You need to read the entire column; snippets below (The NY Times): In the summer of 2011, 19 undergraduates at the University of North Carolina signed up for a lecture […]
For months, The Carolina faithful — aided by, among others, the vocal Dick Vitale and Jay Bilas — campaigned for the NCAA to #FreePJ. In the end, it turned out it wasn’t the NCAA, but in fact The Flagship, that wouldn’t #FreePJ. It’s just another in a growing list of examples of The Flagship’s athletics […]
I’ll just leave this here for everyone’s enjoyment. http://charlotte.cbslocal.com/2013/07/30/mac-attack-productions-p-j-hairston-driving-experience-for-ps3xbox/
I was gladdened to read the unfortunately named Luke DeCock’s piece in this morning’s paper. Without question, the Hole faculty’s silence is cowardly and indefensible. As I have noted previously, the only true “rogue” in Chapel Hill is history professor Jay Smith. He’s the only person there who gives a damn, apparently. He’s certainly the […]
Last week SFN pointed out the Leslie McDonald-Iceburg Mouthguards NCAA violation (refresh your memory here), which was just the latest in The Flagship’s increasingly-long list of NCAA violations. Today, The Flagship, ever the harbinger of accountability and institutional control (pretty much the backbone of The Carolina Way), sent a nasty “cease and desist” letter to […]
What a night in the litany of major rules violations that continue to flow out of the UNC-Chapel Hill basketball program! I don’t know where to begin. Iceburg Mouthguards & Party Promoting Carolina damage control in full spin cycle, no doubt trying once again to come out clean on the other side. Which might very […]
Today, Roy Williams said that he’s waiting on facts before making any judgement on the whole PJ Hairston-rental-car-(or cars, plural)-situation (ABC 11). But there may yet be more to this than it seems. Is UNC senior guard (just for clarity: basketball, not football) Leslie McDonald the latest over at the Flagship to go ‘rogue’? McDonald […]
I will be honest here – I am so inured to the culture of corruption, and Monty Python’s Black Knight caliber of willful and idiotic denial…I didn’t think anything UNC scandal related could shock me anymore. Then I read this, and you should as well: Prepare to be disgusted. Horrific doesn’t even begin to describe […]
