Stop me if you've heard this before. UNC has announced a new set of NCAA violations, and this will delay their response to the earlier Notice of Allegations that they received from the NCAA earlier this year.
Per WRAL.com
In a press release posted on the school's Carolina Commitment site Friday afternoon, the school said the women's basketball violations were related to "improper academic assistance" provided to a few former women's basketball players. Those violations were directly related to one of the accusations made in the NCAA's Notice of Allegations, which was released in June after being given to UNC in May.
The second violation made public Friday involved potential recruiting violations in the men's soccer program that allegedly took place during the last two years.
The men's soccer violations are unrelated to the previous Notice of Allegations, but the university said Friday that the new information will force them to delay their original response to the NOA, which was scheduled to come out on or before Aug. 18, the 90-day period that the school has to publish its response.
What's particularly interesting about this is that part of the NCAA Notice of Allegations is that they're saying UNC exhibited a behavior consistent of a departmental Lack of Institutional Control. So as they're getting ready to reply to that charge. Bam, more violations, this time from even more athletic programs than initially thought.
Talk about a completely rogue Athletic Department.

I hate to be a negative nellie but I don't think anything will be done to UNC. The system is too weak, any punishment will be as weak as the system.
The NCAA...
Wait a minute, how did you get that picture of me? :-)
This is how the whole situation is currently playing in my mind:
NCAA: "You cheated!"
UNC: "Uhhh no we didn't."
NCAA: "Yep, you totally did."
UNC: ".... Ok, yeah, we did."
NCAA: Something, something, double secret probation.
And they keep pulling in football recruits....how....exactly....?
Something about a really easy African Studies program...
Because the NCAA hasn't, and seemingly refuses to do anything about their violations?
If Da U is still playing football...then why wouldn't UNC?
This is what Da U got:

They got public reprimand and censure, along with three years of probation. Looks like they also lost three football scholarships for three years, and one basketball scholarship for three years.
Of course they weren't administering fake classes as far as I know.
Then society you live in.....
Because doing something about NCAA violations would be, you know, unfair to the new recruits, and create more of this:
Oh. My. God. I dont......
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
They're doing exactly what everyone predicted they will. Shift focus from mens BB and FB to avoid punishing their two most profitable sports. Women's BB is going to get hammered the most, and probably some other non-rev sports. When it's done we'll all do the same ting we do every time the "NCAA" "investigates" and "punishes"...Laugh at the comedy of how light the punishment is vs the crime.
but the university said Friday that the new information will force them to delay their original response to the Notice of Allegations, which was scheduled to come out on or before Aug. 18, the 90-day period that the school has to publish its response.
"Wait, you can't punish us yet! We did some more stuff, and want to water down the blame and spread it around as if that serious stuff weren't the focus of all of this. Oh, and now that's getting to be a long time ago, so it seems unfair to punish the people who are around now. And the fans, don't forget the fans!"
INB4 Cardale Jones represents the UNC players at a hearing to inform the NCAA that "they ain't come to play school."
On a serious note, isn't LIC grounds for the "death penalty?"
I read/heard a few times when all the Miami stuff went down that the NCAA will never use the death penalty again. They saw what it did to SMU.
At this point, they really need to lose academic accreditation as the only recourse on the academic side, and the death penalty on the athletic side. This would completely destroy UNC as an university, but they have been cheating and caught cheating for more than a decade. Even when under scrutiny, they have continued to cheat.
The questions is the Death Penalty grounds for the ACC to kick them out of the conference with no penalty? Then they can either grab Notre Dame or another school to fill the spot.
ECU???? It's not like we don't play them every year anyways. This would just make it official.
How have they not even lost scholarships??? At least receive what USC did. Crush that program and bring back to where they belong.....although they are only like a smidge above where they were when we joined the ACC.
Do away with them......in all sports!
Yes, thank you, UNC, we are aware of this already.

"This is certainly cause for a couple hours of probation!"
-Swofford, probably
Certainly cause for a TA to lose a job.
They will be punished by being named ACC runners-up in football.
Maybe Ron Cherry will review....
A couple hours in early July
They'll get double secret probation! They'll never recover!
Oh wait, this is the NCAA. Never mind.
NCAA infractions committee quickly responded "Zzzzzz."
Let's see now. When can they release this so that nobody hears about it.
I know, between Christmas and New Year's.
Kansas bribes players to the tune of 7 figures, cheats in recruiting openly, has adidas pay players, and today- no punishment from the NCAA. If Mike Young is not cheating in a big way, he is a fool. Pry too. Cheat- much bigger than you are currently doing. Nothing will happen to you.
Can we stop calling it 'cheating'?
Why? Self was paying players 6 figures when that was still illegal. In fact- hope you are sitting down?- that is still illegal today, technically.
The word 'cheating' implies that the player/school was doing some unethical or otherwise morally reprehensible. In my opinion, in was quite the opposite. It's not 'illegal', it was against NCAA's archaic, unethical rules.
Now, UNC making up fake majors for athletes? It's reasonable to call that cheating.
LOL- seriously? So an FBI investigation that uncovers bribery - a crime- is not unethical for a college team trying the life and death thing of beating Missouri in a baskteball game? ohhhhhh kayyyy. FBI investigations and finding criminal acts are archaic and unethical. And what about Zion Williamson being offered 600K to play amateur sports when that was not allowed - and still isn't- being "archaic"? Lane Kiffin, Nick Saban, Marcus Freeman- old geezer boomers? out of touch? they have all come out against straight pay for play. What Kansas did- bribing players - is illegal and in fact cheating. Also has nothing to do with you opinion that Peter Moore should not be required to be a student at VT, be paid 6 mil to punt, and get a ferrari from Whit. That is your opinion. Nothing more.
Hilarious. Much of the evidence was KU and Adidas trying to buy Zion Williamson away from Duke and Nike, but that didn't work out. I wonder why this just kind of fizzled out... 😉
Oh, and as a Kansas fan, I could not care less if Self bought players to win a national championship. All the other big boys were doing the same. That's like saying Lance Armstrong didn't win all those Tours de France. Everyone else was also doping, so the playing field was level.
Yep. thought so. We are Kansas- we cheat - and also fuck you. lol. love it.
Holy thread resurrection Batman!
Leave it to DC to resurrect this jewel, leg for you my friend
