Lets say NCAA can't do anything about it. The accreditation bureau put them on probation??
That already happened. Really doesn't have any impact on the NCAA's decision, however.

Academics are far more important than sports. But the NCAA does not regulate academics. It regulates college athletics.
The rationale for having the NCAA punish UNC is that these fake classes were disproportionately filled with student athletes, which would seem to indicate that the athletics teams were aware that the classes were shams, and routed their students to them to gain an advantage.
NCAA hammers Samford.
The NCAA did nothing of the sort. Probation, a fine, and nothing else.
I tell ya, Jerry Tarkanian must be rolling in his grave. His bit about Cleveland State and Kentucky was a good line, but the fact that everyone believed him acts as the keystone of NCAA power today.
if it's not a hammer to vacate championships and give 3 years probation, maybe call it a "love tap"?The NCAA did nothing of the sort. Probation, a fine, and nothing else.

SaMford the latest to fit the bill.....
"the NCAA was so pissed at [UNC] they punished [Samford] harshly...."
Little guy always takes the fall to divert attention away from the real issue. Same thing happened on the playground when I was in grade school. Fricking bullies with no balls in all walks of life.
Seems like 3 yr probation may have impact on recruiting...? Maybe not though.Eh.. Vacating wins and a $5,000 fine is nothing. The punishment doesn't affect recruiting, scholarships, or anything.

But if that's all it is, then responsibility lies with the AFAM department, not the athletic department.
I was under the impression that these sham classes were in some way fostered by and could be interpreted as an instrumentality of the athletic department itself. That gets you within shouting distance of the NCAA's jurisdiction.
It will really come down to if they can collect enough evidence to show that the athletic staff encouraged students into these classes, and encouraged the department to offer them.
It's the second part that's critical. The first part, pushing your academic strugglers toward the easiest classes the University offers is standard operating procedure at every program in America. That's just business as usual. It's when that crosses over into influencing what the University offers that it becomes a problem.
When core classes are a complete sham that's a big problem, and right now the NCAA is strongly encouraging this via lack of rule enforcement.
the NCAA could use the proportion of athletes in the classes to statistically prove that the sham classes were established and/or used by the athletic department to circumvent academic eligibility requirements.
So UI's flower arranging and tennis classes are cupcakes?
Problem is, classes like that are just for fun and or to fill missing electives, not your core classes. When core classes are a complete sham that's a big problem, and right now the NCAA is strongly encouraging this via lack of rule enforcement.

No mention of Men's Basketball in new NOA. I am confused if this replaces the old NOA, because if it does, what happened to all of the MBB allegations?

Article by Pat Forde saying how it looks like the NCAA will go soft on UNC.....a bunch of crap this investigation is turning out to be. Should not be surprised as the NCAA protects the blue blood programs. These violations should bring major penalties along with lack of institutional control. Also, coaching staffs had to be directing the students to these classes, but with no mention of the men's bball team, Roy will escape without any charges. I have to laugh that they are saying it is the women's team that will face the brunt of the penalties.
