Way past time for a thorough external investigation?

It was pretty obvious why Martin was chosen to do the investigation. Guy can barely finish a complete sentence anymore, how's he gonna run a thorough investigation? Especially in an environment where the investigated had many months to get all their records in order so anything incriminating wouldn't be found.

I am greatly disappointed in former Governor Martin, whom I previously held to be a person of integrity.

While I feel certain he and his committee can somehow justify their findings, to an unbiased outside observer the whole thing smells like a continuing coverup. Or, at the very least, a report prepared by those with tunnel vision and/or blinders on.

To report the "only" problems were within the Department of African and Afro-American Studies makes about as much sense as saying that various foxes invaded the hen house...because it was a good place to get out of the sun.

Hopefully the local news media, as well as the supporters of that school in Raleigh who went through the NCAA wringers for FAR less, will continue their search for the real truth.

Most of these comments are very uneducated. Most do not know anything about writing a report because they have never written one. Governor Martin does not have subpoena powers. He cannot enter speculation or innuendo in his report like you can in this blog. His report must be fact based. State fans need only remember their own scandals involving David Thompson and Jim Valvano. This Carolina obession you have is not healthy. Perhaps you feel the need to tear down UNC because you cannot build up NCS as evidenced by your records in the series-Football-North Carolina: 64; NC State: 33; Ties: 6---basketbal-North Carolina: 147; NC State: 75

The review just skimmed the surface. No real issues were investigated. Just a lot of surface stuff that we knew anyway. It was real smart for Thorp to pick his own investigator. Wish he had pointed out the parts of the report that he expects us to believe.

Did we really expect him to find anything wrong?

"NCAA does their investigation and hands down their penalties, that's not good enough. Davis is ordered to turn over his phone records, that's not good enough. Martin, who attended Davidson and Princeton, in combination with a consulting firm completely independent of UNC does an investigation, that's not good enough. Point is, it will never be good enough." kornfan2448

welp i see martin as still as confused as he was when he was gov nor... of course the program was atheletic driven---

How many of these students with abnormal grade changes received degrees from UNC? How many of the non-student/athletes had connections to the athletes - family, friends or lovers?

OLOVE to hear the haters this morning. Music to my ears! Please continue to whine, cry and act like you are more informed about this than everyone that investigated it personally.
