The NCAA has already said they are out of their jurisdiction.

"In a letter to UNC, the COI hearing panel acknowledged that NCAA bylaws "do not generally contemplate the infractions process addressing quality and content assessments regarding academic courses." Then they decided to get involved anyway.

UNC is laying the groundwork to take the NCAA to court. The NCAA needs to do whatever it is going to do. Greg Sankey from the SEC reopened this after UNC did the internal investigation and had that Wainstein Report. It's similar to Penn State and the Freeh Report. The NCAA over reached with the Freeh Report.

The UNC matter is a matter for the Accreditation Board to downgrade the academic rating of the University. It's not the role of the NCAA to start rating academic integrity of the courses at the schools. No one likes that the students at UNC get credit for crappy classes including athletes, but they are not really against any of the NCAA bylaws. It's a matter of who should punish UNC for crappy curriculum.

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

One could argue that the NCAA has already opened Pandora's box -- VTHokie2000 04/11/2017 2:53PM

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

Your friend Wallace Loh has his opinion. -- Old Line Hokie 04/11/2017 2:10PM

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

If you're sitting at the table playing Texas hold'em with you friends -- IB4TECH 04/11/2017 11:45AM

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

IMO, being in the ACC comes with a certain resignation to the reality... -- Maroon Baboon 04/11/2017 08:37AM

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
