2029 Nick Cannon continues to prove why he is one of the top players in his class. A skilled, smooth wing who makes the game look effortless. He can score the basketball from all three levels. I wouldn’t be surprised if he is in the national rankings soon. @Ncannon29 @CP3EYBL

The commissioner of the ACC at the time was also a UNC grad
Dr. Lynn Fynn-derella@Fynnderella1

A student-athlete turned in a 146-word essay about Rosa Parks — one paragraph, riddled with errors, no sources — and got an A-minus. That single paper helped expose the biggest academic fraud in NCAA history. For 18 years, from 1993 to 2011, a department secretary named Deborah Crowder ran fake courses at the University of North Carolina. @UNC The classes never met. There was no syllabus and no professor. Students turned in one paper per semester. Crowder admitted she never read them. She skimmed introductions and handed out A’s. UNC’s academic counselors steered athletes into these courses each semester, specifying what grades each player needed. Athletes made up 47% of enrollments despite being just 4% of the student body. Rashad McCants, a star on UNC’s 2005 championship team, told ESPN he made the Dean’s List without attending a single class. Ten of fifteen players on that title team were enrolled in paper courses. When whistleblower Mary Willingham revealed that 60% of athletes read at a 4th-to-8th grade level, UNC attacked her publicly and fans sent death threats. She was forced to resign. In October 2014, a 136-page investigation confirmed the scope: 188 fake classes, 3,100 students, 18 years of fraud. And the punishment? In October 2017, the NCAA ruled there were no significant violations. Zero penalties. No vacated wins. No postseason bans. @UNC calls themselves a bastion of academia. How incredibly pathetic.

I know that everyone thinks that all the love for Justin Gainey is powerful and should move Boo Corrigan to make a decision. And also know they've never thought about the other side of this coin -- What happens in these situations when someone doesn't succeed? Even worse, what happens in these situations when someone only succeeds in a middling fashion? When dealing with alums, now you're dealing with a massive headache because there will always be people that support the alum no matter what, regardless of what the right decision could be. Heck, just look at Hubert right down the street. Not sure if I'm an AD that I'm dying to put myself in that position through the years. So, not sure that all the public pressure to push Boo ends up having the effect that people think it will.

@ChrisHughesCP @CarolinaPreps1 I agree….. all we need is several million dollars to build pristine weight rooms, couple million more to turf all our fields, another million to bring in “winning” coaches, couple million more to build state of the art stadiums……and a recruiting budget to buy players- simple!

I saw firsthand today what a truly BIG-TIME HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL program looks like. Spent time with North Carolina native Chip English, now leading the nationally renowned Hoover Buccaneers in Hoover, Alabama. More Carolina-based schools should take note—ACADEMIC SUCCESS doesn’t just coexist with ATHLETIC EXCELLENCE… it grows and thrives from a real commitment to it. @BucsFootball @coachCEnglish @CarolinaPreps1 @RZstrength

Apparently if you’re right-brained you see a rabbit, if you’re left-brained you see a turtle. What do you see?
