One could argue that the NCAA has already opened Pandora's box

WRT ruling on matters that may be beyond the NCAA's scope when it rendered a decision on the Penn State scandal. So even if it is a matter for the accreditation board, one could argue that UNC athletics "benefitted" from the "lack of institutional control."

I am not sure if I completely buy that argument. However, since the NCAA's involvement with the Penn State scandal, I think the NCAA has placed itself in a more difficult position not to pursue certain investigations that may not be in its jurisdiction.

Question for the board.. -- SoCloseHokie 04/11/2017 08:22AM

I think everyone wants the NCAA to make a decision. -- HOO86 04/11/2017 2:02PM

They have authority; FSU was sanctioned over academic misconduct. -- daveinop 04/13/2017 08:50AM

I think that's why the NCAA walked back a lot of the Penn State sanctions. -- HOO86 04/11/2017 3:04PM

I agree which is why I wasn't thrilled to see the NCAA get involved -- VTHokie2000 04/11/2017 3:34PM

The "death penalty" for violations so elusive after searching for 7 years. -- HOO86 04/11/2017 2:29PM

The violations aren't elusive. They've been plain for everyone to see. -- Atlee Hokie 04/11/2017 3:44PM

The NCAA has already said they are out of their jurisdiction. -- HOO86 04/11/2017 5:50PM

I believe the overriding issue is that a number of -- RJHokie 04/11/2017 6:46PM

That is what has been elusive to prove. -- HOO86 04/11/2017 6:54PM

Not elusive at all. We'd be done if they hadn't self reported even more -- daveinop 04/13/2017 3:44PM

they don't like the quality of their courses -- 33laszlo99 04/11/2017 8:53PM

Curious, are you counting UNC as a friend or stranger in this case? -- BigJake20 04/11/2017 12:45PM

TBD by reader. In the case of conference members, I think we -- IB4TECH 04/11/2017 1:27PM

Slap on the wrist? Don't be surprised if the NCAA "volunteers" -- VTHokie2000 04/11/2017 12:41PM

ND gets special treatment too. -- EDGEMAN 04/11/2017 11:40AM
