[QUOTE="g0lftime, post: 802398, member: 2672"] Sorry to put this in this topic but may clarify some of the actual events. The fake classes went on for 18 years in the African American Studies program under an accomodating professor. Classes had about 50% athletes. No class attendance and had to write one paper at end of semester. Often graded by the Secretary in the department. It was used by all athletic programs. It was reported that the Secretary would speak with the academic advisor to ask if an A was necessary. Was very pervasive in women's basketball. I know a former baseball player that took classes with that prof 3 times. Very hard for monathletes to get into for the easy A. The university fought the charges using the argument that the classes were open to all students. Cost UNC $18M in legal defense according to local papers. President forced out. AD retired. Football coach fired. Fired over his other violations but opened the ncaa investigations into the class scandal. AFAM prof and secretary were allowed to retire with full benefits. They also cleaned house in the athletic academic advisor department. A book was written by one of the academic advisors that helped blow the whistle at UNC. Book was about the educational sham going on in college athletics and how the system fails to provide a real education for the athletes. [/QUOTE]
