Is this where the FBI steps in and investigates UNC - the university, not the athletic department - for fraud in offering fake classes and taking people's money to enroll in these fake classes and handing out degrees that are tainted with fraud for anyone who took fake classes? And isn't there an association that is responsible for "accreditation" that should now pull UNC's? And if you are not an accrediated university, can you get your taxpayer funding pulled? This appears to be bigger than the NCAA jurisdiction. Is anyone paying attention? Does anyone care?
And finally, what a cop-out by the NCAA. They shouldn't even be looking at other students. Their job is to insure student-athletes are completing their academic requirements. Can anyone say that happened in this case? If you enrolled in a fake class, how did you meet your requirement for "real" credits that semester to remain eligible to play ball?
