<p>After many years of stonewalling and denials by top UNC administrators, a full NCAA investigation (which essentially dismissed the allegations), and the defamation and libel heaped upon the brave employee who blew the whistle, UNC now admits to a decade long scam by its athletes to remain eligible.</p>
<p>I would expect that the school will be subject to draconian punishments (whether self-imposed or NCAA imposed). The story is truly amazing - a scheme initially run by essentially a single person and later joined by the head of an academic department - all with the knowledge of coaches.</p>
<p>The unsavory underbelly of big time college athletics is once again revealed. The disservice done to these athletes is mind boggling - once more illustarting the moral bankruptcy of both the NCAA and UNC administrators who loved the money, attention, and fame athletics brought to UNC. Shame on them for failing the rest of the hard working students and faculty at UNC.</p>
