Interesting Opinion Piece by Ed Hardin re: UNC


To me, the real loser in this whole UNCheat fiasco is the NCAA. They are impotent. They also practice selective enforcement. They are a waste. The only entities that may be bigger losers are the ACC and John Swofford. Hypocrite is too nice a word to describe any of the three.
Coupled with the FBI college basketball fiasco, a quagmire has been revealed that makes one wretch in revulsion. None of us are really surprised, but that doesn't make the revulsion any less. And the head of the snake are the supposed "adults." This includes Emmert and his cronies, Swofford and his cronies, and the Presidents of the Universities that make up the NCAA, who have sold their respective souls for the "...business of college sports and higher education." Shame on you all.
And, shame on all of us for observing it and doing nothing. Shame on us, for condoning such activity for school pride and bragging rights.
We'll all be outraged for a period of time, and the news cycle will move us on in a few days. I'm including myself in the "us," and I'm ashamed. The "Carolina Way" will forever be a punchline to jokes of derision. Saint Dean and "Ol Roy" died morally long before we knew it. I, for one, will turn my back at introductions to UNC players. I, for one, will always refer to UNC as hypocrites and cheaters whenever the opportunity presents itself. I, for one, will no longer be proud of VT's membership in the ACC. To call Swofford a used-car salesman is an insult to used-car salesmen.
As I've posted here before, my son said he was surprised the NCAA didn't award UNC MBB the national championship they lost to Villanova, because of the pain and anguish they've experienced. I've been disgusted by UNC for many years now. Now my disgust is extended to the NCAA and the ACC. What a bunch of chumps we are for putting up what these entities' self-serving actions, and not calling them out for their hypocrisy and lack of ethical compass.
