What I do not understand is UNC only gets 1 year probation for a problem that the Martin Commission says goes back to 1997. This academic department was set up to help football and yes basketball players remain in UNC uniforms. Where is the NCAA?

Right...And Coach K paid Lance Thomas' debts so that story would go away. Move along, nothing to see anywhere.

He cheated in a system designed to keep unqualified athletes eligible. He just did what the school assumed he was going to do because the system was arranged to keep his grades above the bare minimum so he could play football.

This wasn't about racism. McAdoo plagerized at least one paper that we know of. How many more were there? I'm a UNC supporter, but the line has to be drawn somewhere.

And just how was he thrown under the bus? He cheated and got caught. Some of those who were penalized did not deserve what happened to them, but McAdoo's punishment was justified.

And again, it would really help if some of you relied more on fact and stopped making these ignorant statements.

He made a mistake, got caught and was penalized. He still has the opportunity to have a successful NFL career, that should be his focus.
