The NCAA hammers UNC basketball for academic fraud

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.

I love a good nap. Sometimes that's all that's getting me out of bed in the morning.
