Since that time, eye football coach has been replaced, the athletic director has retired and the school has implemented more controls on top of some of th already absurd controls that the NCAA has in place to begin with. We still await sanctions from the NCAA which is proving its ineptitude each day a decision is delayed. As an alumni of UNC I was embarrassed by the actions leading to the sanctions, particularly the African American Studies department. That said, it is time for you folks o find other dead horse to beat on, because UNC has handled its shortcomings appropriately. It is one of he finest schools in he country without debate and though its athletic program is too large like at all division one schools, the people running it and the administration are motivated to do it right.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3538159334790759434.post-7302055585290759352012-02-28T07:01:21.065-05:002012-02-28T07:01:21.065-05:00In other news - nc state and yow has no idea about...In other news - nc state and yow has no idea about anything.1993 Tar Heelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06724539310730414777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3538159334790759434.post-75544532071465042122012-02-28T06:36:54.534-05:002012-02-28T06:36:54.534-05:00It's all about money.

Fact is that NCAA basketball is as fair as you can get -- EVERY team in D1 has a direct line to the NCAA tournament. Win your conference - however you determine the champion - and you are in. Not ifs ands or buts. <br /><br />Quite simple fact is every school (short of the Ivy League who gives their automatic bid to their regular season winner) plays their conference tournament as a satellite NCAA tournament.

One reason college football is bogus is because far too many teams make bowl appearances every year. If a team has a losing record, they DO NOT DESERVE to go play in a bowl game, period. Stick with the 68 team format for basketball. It's a manageable amount of games and is a good balance without detracting from the regular season. The NCAAs (AND bowl games) should be about the best teams, NOT about the "everybody-gets-rewarded", namby-pamby, don't-hurt-the-players-feelings" drivel that is coming from Bubba Cunningham. Looks like UNC made yet another mistake with this hire.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3538159334790759434.post-62740696963586805602012-02-27T13:01:17.017-05:002012-02-27T13:01:17.017-05:00Dumbest comment ever.
