Nothing happened to UCLA either, despite several former UCLA players admitting to the fact they got paid to play there.

NCAA sees UCLA and UNC, as well as UK as their favored programs.

UMn dared to recruit blacks to play for them back when RACISM ruled much of cbb and we've been made into one of their favorite targets ever since.

This is the type of thing that goes on at most big-time schools, I suspect. It's essentially no different then what happened at MN. Yet the Gopher program got nuked for a decade, and nothing will happen to UNC or the other places this crap goes on. And we're not even allowed to talk about 1997 by some on here...

Let us not forget that our beloved Gophers compete with other schools - UNC included - in recruiting and on the field/court.

Anyone, anyone who cant admit some schools have a big advantage due to things just like this are fooling themselves.
 

Couldn't find a clip on Youtube, but that paper reminds me of the scene from Evolution when David Duchovny described the papers written be two of his students entitled "Cells are Bad". I can't believe any professor would put a passing grad on that paper, much less an A-.
 


D1 college athletes get paid just about everywhere, it's a fact of life and has been for a long time.

A- was too nice of a grade.

I'd dock him to a B simply because any college student worth his salt knows that double-spacing makes any college essay look a lot longer.

Well, at least he knew Rosa Parks was black, I'll give him that.

This makes me want to read the essay Courtney James wrote about PMS.

Haha seriously, come on now, they aren't even trying to hide it lol. A- for a half page, single spaced, 3rd grade account of Rosa Parks not giving up her seat? How hard is it to BS for at least a page. Like, just make it look good at least, even if you spend half the paper describing how your exploits on the court relate to the racism of this world...whatever it is.

I don't know why they don't have classes for their sport, literally. Like, they should be able to at least articulate papers on sports and its history, or SOMETHING like that. At least then they're learning something they allegedly care about. Rather than sitting here fiddling with classes that don't exist or writing crap like that.
 

Wow. Is there any actual NCAA investigation of UNC regarding all of this stuff?

Or a paper about Rosa Parks' PMS.

I don't see them as the same. One was a basketball program pulling one over on the university

The other is a university pulling one over on the public and US Dept of Education. I would hope UNC's accreditation is at risk

That's not fair. Not one of the NCAA Basketball Championships banners of a Sam Gilbert coached team is hanging in Pauley Pavilion.
 




i can't find it today- but somewhere on the internet in the last couple of days i saw a really poorly written paper for a college class. The class was Respect Authority 301 and while the paper was deserving of an F but received and A, I was more surprised to see Respect Authority needing to be a 300 level class. I can't remember enough about the article or forum, but I think it was about academic scandal somewhere

Irregardless of the NCAA, I think UNC should lose their AAU membership for this. This isn't the behavior of a school that deserves to be considered one of the best public universities in the country. Not that this does much but it would at least wake administrators up to the idea that all academic choices impact your school. Maybe it would cause a president or 2 to put emphasis on education in their athletics department

The use of this word along with ending sentences in prepositions drive me crazy. I believe it to be an unacceptable replacement for regardless. Forgive me for seeming nitpicking, but I get a headache everytime I read it.
 


“This is the sort of English up with which I will not put.”
 

Difficult to generate any self-righteous anger as long as "Business and Marketing Education" exists as a major at the U.
 

A group of parents with their son (a high school interested in attending the U) came to visit the U. They were walking along the sidewalk, and the father asked a man they passed "where is the Coffman Union at?" As it so happens, this man was an English professor, and he told the parents "I'll tell you if you rephrase the question so that it doesn't end in a preposition." The father scratched his head for a second, and then said "ok, where is the Coffman Union at, jacka$$?"
 

It is a problem that the academic and athletic depts. should both be ashamed to be involved in. These athletes that are at a grade school level are told which courses to take so they can continue to play and who cares if they are no smarter when they leave these colleges certainly not the teachers and coaches.

Thank you guys for the english lesson. Next time the talk shifts to chemistry, I'll be happy correct your mistakes. I haven't taken an english class since high school and I wasn't very good. I'm glad to know you take pleasure in correcting random peoples mistakes.

Compound sentence - comma inserted.

Now, about those covalent bonds...

Just had my 3rd grade daughter read this and she caught most of the errors. She even commented that she could write a better paper on Rosa Parks, which she already did. If I can find it, I will post it if we didn't recycle it already.
