NCAA penalizes UNC basketball program for several infractions
The Northern Colorado men's basketball program will receive three years of probation, scholarship and recruiting sanctions and the vacation of records, including its 2011 Big Sky conference championship, for the improper management of its student-athletes' academics and impermissible financial benefits, the NCAA announced Friday.
The NCAA also accepted UNC's self-imposed postseason ban of the 2016-17 season.
Nine members of the UNC men's basketball coaching staff, including former head coach B.J. Hill, are implicated in a variety of violations between 2010 and 2014, such as completing coursework for prospects, paying for classes that players needed to become academically eligible and arranging off-campus practice sessions with an academically ineligible player.
Well, it's about time after that lengthy in depth investigation. At least they showed they're willing to stick to their guns, even when it impacts a big program.

Given recent events on the site, I'd like to remind people that this is NOT an appropriate time to downvote a post. No matter how much you want to.
You'd be downvoting the principle, not an opinion.
The only thing i got from that article is a fascinating use of the word "vacation"
Ha! Nice try! I was already fooled by this exact joke on reddit this morning!
AH haha! Nicely done, got me.
If you're pissed about this post, you have no sense of humor.
What about mildy annoyed? Is that allowed? Slightly perturbed? Exhibiting mock outrage? Let me know so I can be sure to live up to your standards of humor 😋
Marginally miffed sounds about right.
I am not a doctor, but the title of this changed.
