The NCAA has a certain procedure for handing out sanctions. They can't do it by the seat of their pants like you want. The NCAA has in fact followed normal procedure. They sent UNC a Notice of Allegations letter last fall. UNC has 90 days to respond, which they did. Then was scheduled for March. So no, the NCAA wasn't letting UNC get off. They had already started the procedure, and everything was progressing on schedule.What extended the process is that UNC self-reported additional violations at the end of last year. Due to the rules of the investigation procedure, the NCAA had to reopen the investigation when the new violations were reported. There isn't any choice. They had to do it.Now as to why UNC self-reported, I clearly explained that. UNC self-reported because they thought they could win the tournament this year, so they gambled on getting tougher sanctions in the future to win the national championship this year. If you want to say that's dirty by UNC, that's fine. The problem is, they can legally do that. UNC took advantage of a loophole.Bottom line, North Carolina is going to get sanctions. That's a foregone conclusion. The only question is how much and for how long.That's not what I said. Don't twist my words. I didn't say the first investigation turned up the AFAM scandal. I said it led to it. The two main violations in the first investigation were agents paying players and tutors writing papers for players. After the NCAA ruling, the state of North Carolina conducted its own investigation for two reasons: 1) the state of North Carolina has criminal laws regulating the conduct of agents, 2) the state has oversight of UNC, obviously, so they investigated the academic charges as well. That's what led to the revelations of all the fraud in the AFAM classes. The problem is, the NCAA wasn't going to get anywhere near a state/federal investigation because of what happened with Miami. The NCAA conducted their own investigation, separate from the state of North Carolina. That's what accounts for the length of time. The NCAA was right to do that. They already got burned on the Miami case, so it would be stupid to make the same mistake again.</blockquote>
