NCAA looking at new rules regarding academic misconduct.

The NCAA is expected to approve new rules later this month that would give it more authority to pursue cases of academic misconduct, reforms three years in the making but placed in the spotlight by the scandal involving athletes at UNC-Chapel Hill.

The proposed rules would require all Division I member schools to create their own academic misconduct policies for all students. That keeps the NCAA from having to make the call whether misconduct took place – something its member schools have adamantly opposed – while giving it the authority to cite the misconduct in leveling violations involving athletics

UNC is about to get the hammer. This is not a hunch.
I'm trying not to get my hopes up, but your lack of equivocation is reassuring.

I think there will be some who will only be satisfied if UNC MBB receives the "death penalty."

No UNC sport is going to receive the death penalty, but if the DP is not your only acceptable outcome...you'll be pleased.

JPScott, I fully expect UNC to publicly release the copy of the amended copy of the NOA on May 27.

There's more to this that I promised I would not share...if I value getting info.

May 27 is based on two factors. The first is that UNC won't release the NOA without first having a meeting with the Board of Governors. Based on when UNC will receive the NOA from the NCAA and the calendar of scheduled BoG meetings...May 27 fits. Secondly, May 27 is a Friday heading into a long Memorial Day weekend. UNC's high-dollar PR team will continue to follow the playbook of releasing bad news late on a Friday...especially heading into a long holiday weekend.

At least one UNCheat fan is irate about it. My Dr. is a UNCheat grad, and when I went in for a physical last year, he went on a 10 minute rant about the scandal, talking about how embarrassing it was and how they needed to be hit hard by the NCAA. I was back in this week on a follow up visit and I asked him how he took the Villanova game. He said that he didn't watch it, and in fact hadn't watched a single minute of the football OR basketball season and had no plans on doing so until they had been punished. He also said his donations are on hold until that happens.

Sounds like the NCAA is going to claim that they would have punished UNC**** if only they had the new rules in place. That is bunk. They can punish Penn State. They can punish the massive misconduct of UNC****************.

Sorry I must have missed something. Has the NCAA already sent the amended NOA to UNC?

If so, why should there be a delay in acknowledging that it was received and revealing what it says?

If not, why would we assume the NCAA will release it to UNC by then?

UNC gets to redact the NOA. UNC can take its time to ensure no FERPA information is released. Delay as long as possible. UNC doesn't really have to release it unless someone files a freedom of information act request with UNC. UNC knows the pack pride guys will so UNC will release it when they think they have all their ducks in a row.

The delay....

UNC just publicly released its response to SACS yesterday...despite the fact that UNC submitted it to SACS over a MONTH ago.

UNC has delayed on releasing everything thus far.

UNC delays in order to buy time to improperly redact names & information. Some of the redactions are legit according to FERPA...many more redactions are an improper application of FERPA.

UNC also delays long enough to implement what it perceives to be the best PR strategy and spin.

UNC has delayed every step of the way...

Granted UNC will try to delay wherever possible but AFAIK, the next step should be the NCAA to send the redacted NOA to UNC.

There's no reason that the fact it has been sent should be delayed. (Edit: looking back at the original NOA some details in the Factual Information appendices had specific information redacted, however the main charges were not.

To me it should be a matter of public record when UNC receives the amended NOA, because that defines at what date they must respond to it.)

There's no reason that the fact it has been sent should be delayed, or information in it redacted. Have any charges made by the NCAA against a school ever contained redactions to withhold personal information? I don't remember that.

Now once UNC receives the amended NOA they are then on the clock to provide their response. THAT, they may choose to redact some details I guess.

The NCAA has not yet sent the amended NOA to UNC, but it will happen very soon. Based on open-records laws...UNC must release the NOA upon request, but UNC has been unjustly slow at releasing EVERYTHING to the public regarding the scandal...

OK, that makes sense.

It just seemed weird to me to hear that UNC would be releasing the amended NOA soon when it hasn't even been confirmed that they've received it yet from the NCAA.

FWIW, I did look back at the original and that one was received May 20, 2015, and the [redacted] text of the NOA was made public by UNC June 4, 2015. So it took them a couple of weeks.

Link to UNC announcement of the Original NOA

Note that they were supposed to respond within 90 days of receipt of the NOA, which of course they failed to do.

"I just think about those young men who the vast majority are probably first generation in their family having the chance to go to college, and the chance not to just play basketball in North Carolina but the chance to get a degree from the University of North Carolina. That’s a life-transforming opportunity. And the fact they were denied that chance is mindboggling. It’s mindboggling. And they were denied it systemically, systematically. This was part of the University of North Carolina basketball system."

Believe it or not, I have a good friend who is a Louisville fan that has taken the same approach. He is refusing to watch their basketball team until all the dust settles from the NCAA and he would love to see Pimptino gone ASAP. He is disgusted by the recurring sex scandals with Rick at the helm.

Sam, thanks for your post on the UNC board after the title game. I saved part of that thread. It was great.

These classes were impermissible benefits. Any player enrolled in them should be ineligible. With that in mind, TRUE JUSTICE in this case would look something like:
Forfeiture of any games in which such an athlete participated. In all sports. Wins vacated from the record book. Titles that were won during those seasons should be vacated. Reduction of scholarships and post season bans for as many seasons as that particular sport utilized the AFAM classes. Apply this criteria to the entire athletic department and investigate back as far as the red flags are present.

True justice is the last thing that I expect from the NCAA.

Can I ask... What is your connection? How do you know?

For me to be pleased would require the 05 banner coming down, vacating the wins from that season, 2 years post season ban and 3 scholarship losses for the next 2 years plus a heavy fine. If that happens, I will be pleased. I would be content with the banner gone, the wins gone and 1 year of a ban and scholly loss. Anything less would be skating to me. If UK had done this I would want the same. I don't like cheaters. It doesn't matter what jersey they wear.

Take one banner and one season, and it would absolutely be enough for me.

It also needs to be enforced, as they do with Cals wins. Which means they cannot celebrate, recognize, or or cite the 2005 championship anywhere or anytime.

I would be happy.

I want 05, 09 banners and every game vacated from 2000 through 2009. That would be taking it easy on the cheats by letting Dean the mastermind cheater keep his banner. Naw, the Fab 5 had to vacate, what was going on at UNC was worse, vacate. UNC now has 2 NC.
Lose 2 scholarships a year for 5 years, a 1 season ban for Roy Williams, because he is a liar. 20,000,000 dollar fine to be split amongst conference foes they cheated. A 100,000 dollar donation to Pack Pride and those from RR who helped for one helluva party to be held wherever PP decides. A 1,000,000 award to Dan Kane for having the stones to stay on this despite death threats, harassment and ridicule.
Peace

when you look at how the NCAA has crafted their NOA, I think they've devised a much better way of hammering UNC than trying to address whether the classes were legit (academically).

I have a UNC grad who is a client. He is also furious with the situation and he has "connections" and he told me many months ago it was really bad and UNC would get hammered very hard...everyone was in scramble mode.
But I haven't seen him since...maybe he "talked to" and told to keep quiet...

Wow.

Last month, a Showtime 60 Minutes Sports report featured former U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan’s criticism of UNC and its basketball program. Duncan recently joined the Knight Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics as a vice-chairman.

“I just think about those young men who the vast majority are probably first generation in their family having the chance to go to college, and the chance not to just play basketball in North Carolina but the chance to get a degree from the University of North Carolina,” Duncan said. “That’s a life-transforming opportunity. And the fact they were denied that chance is mindboggling. It’s mindboggling. And they were denied it systemically, systematically. This was part of the University of North Carolina basketball system.”

Duncan said the coaches should bear responsibility for the fake classes that occurred under their watch.

“Who cares (whether they knew)?” he said. “That’s the problem. They’re above the law.”
