UNC admits to "Lack of Institutional Control" in response to NCAA Notice of Allegations

WRAL: UNC-CH challenges NCAA authority, admits wrongdoing in response to allegations

There's a lot to go through here, but from what I can gather up front, UNC has admitted to the most serious of athletic charges against them, and that is the charge of Lack of Institutional Control in their reply to the NCAA. However, they are openly questioning whether the NCAA should have any jurisdiction whatsoever in doling out punishments when it comes to outright academic fraud, of which they are also admitting to.

"UNCโ€“Chapel Hill accepts full responsibility for its serious past academic problems, and it has addressed them directly without regard to cost or reputational harm," the response reads. "But... The question is whether the matters raised by the ANOA meet the jurisdictional, procedural, and substantive requirements of the NCAA constitution and bylaws."

Mentioned more than 100 times in the amended Notice of Allegations, was Jan Boxill, former faculty chairwoman, ethics professor and the former athletic-academic counselor for the women's basketball team. Boxill is accused by the NCAA of committing 18 different violations. The sum of Boxill's violations amounts to one of the five Level I infractions the NCAA alleges against the university.

UNC has countered, saying only 15 violations were committed and they should amount to a Level III infraction because "she did not knowingly provide extra benefits as alleged by the enforcement staff."

The university did, however, acknowledge their failure to monitor Boxill.

So... admit they screwed up, admit they really screwed up, admit they had no control over their athletic department, and then taunt the NCAA saying they don't have the jurisdiction to actually punish them for it.
