This part here. Wow.
Kinda begs the question: what exactly did one have to do to receive less than a 4.0? Show up for the first "class"? Spell your name right?

Your statement that Crowder did not set out to help the team seems to be contradicted by some of these conclusions. Regardless of her motivations, however, the conclusions from the Wainstein Report appear to go to the issue of legitimate academic eligibility for student-athletes as much as they do accreditation issues for UNC. I find it hard to believe that the NCAA could not separate the two and still find plenty of ammunition. The question is what size artillery they will use.
Apparently at least some of the student athletes worked really hard on their papers for some of these classes.
Given that the NCAA has been under criticism for not being able to adequately police their ranks, and this was written about ad nauseum last week in light of the FBI investigation, do those events have any bearing on what the NCAA hands down tomorrow? Or will it just be more BAU for their sacred cows?
I want to see the former. Guessing we will still get the latter.

From a commenter: timing has shifted per UNC request. Tomorrow is $4B capital campaign announcement.

UNC is *NOT* confirming this at this point. What I tweeted earlier was correct but it appears release timeline may have shifted.

Why does anyone on this board care?
Perfectly put.Catharsis.
Catharsis.
Is that the new Greek recruit? More importantly does he fit the system?
It was a department other than athletics that was cheating. Or at least the athletic department had plausible deniability. But they knew. Every faculty member knew.
Agreed. Sounds like an ethics violation. Pull all federal research dollars from the institution. That would get the faculty's attention. The NCAA is a joke.
Unpopular news is best for the Friday news cycle. (From what I've heard)
Will this be unpopular because they are going to lay the smack down on UNC, thus angering a large and lucrative school/fanbase?
Or will it be unpopular because the NCAA won't be able to pin anything big on them and UNC will get away with murder, thus pissing the rest of us off.
I'm guessing the latter.
