Tar Heels probe expands into academic misconduct

[lone star scribe]

An academic tutor for Butch Davis' son is apparently the focus of the ever-widening investigation at North Carolina. This will not end well.

If you share the popcorn, I'll find the beverage of your choice for this one.

Oh. My. Goodness. Chapel Hill in trouble with the boss?

 

[imjustagirl]

Well, it's football, so it doesn't REALLY matter.

But I still wish ill on the school as a whole.

Tell John Swofford this. He still thinks people will fill the stadium for an ACC Championship football game.

(I hear you, IJAG ... promise. But it's still messy.)

Does it mean that UNC Asheville will get three years probation?

If it were basketball, at least a dozen other schools in the UNC system would be quaking in fear. But since this is football, Butch and his guys might take the punishment in the shorts themselves.

At least Chapel Hill is finally opening up about this. The silence was deafening and highly suspicious to this point.

The sick thing is that there are probably some basketball-minded people at UNC who are giddy right now.

 

[TigerVols]

So does this mean Butch won't be replacing Derek Dooley next season, like so many Vol fans expect?

 

[Craig Sagers Tailor]

If Butch set out to turn UNC into the USC of the east, good job

As an NCSU grad and Cleveland Browns fan, I'm eating this up

No one at the school is giddy about this. If anything basketball-minded people are furious that the football team is bringing this kind of shame on the university. Well, perhaps not as furious as the academic-minded people, but you get the point. This is hugely embarrassing.

Damn, just when it looked like ACC Football was going to be a major player on the national level.

 

[Flying Headbutt]

Butch Davis has always been an overrated fraud. I just didn't know it's because the term papers were all frauds.

I dunno about this one.

Now what I can see? The so-called Chapel Hill fans all about the countryside who will not only claim that it's football so it's not a big deal, but also that they're "UNC/Carolina basketball fans" so this doesn't really matter to them.

Fair weather much? But you can bet on this. I grew up around this sort of "logic" in regards to the Chapel Hill faithful.

My key word is some. You're describing a somewhat larger populous than I was.

 

[User 11148]

Have a Tar Heel fanatic for an in-law and here's some of his/her logic for you: Any accomplishments by Mack Brown (who had the gall to leave UNC) at Texas must be dismissed because "he gets all the talent he wants."

Not my logic, mind you.

Which is why your comment is farther off the mark than Sam's.

Your odds of finding anyone at the university who is "giddy" about this are somewhere between hitting the lottery and getting struck by lightening.

 

[Sam Mills 51]

Roy Williams has some issues, and not all of them are because of a roster he recruited that had absolutely no heart. But he's not a grave-dancing sort. Bottom line: You think this is going to help his ability to recruit?

Yeah. Me neither.

 

[93Devil]

It still amazes me that possibly the greatest football player who ever lived played for UNC.
