UNC off the hook, NCAA sucks again!

So UNC went on record saying that real students could and did take the game classes. Students who presumably received federal grants and aid.

They may have bigger worries than the loss of athletic scholarships. If the feds wanted to they could pull all federal aid from the school and prosecute the administration for fraud (which is what it is)

I will be surprised if we ever again see any kind of major sanctions from the NCAA. The Penn State lawsuit pretty much showed they have very little power. They are basically relegated to determining player eligibility (until some school sues them over that) and making rulebooks for the various sports.

For now, it's time for the accrediting agencies to step in. Schools that are playing games with fake classes and are bending academic standards need to lose their accreditation.

In the long term, perhaps the federal government needs to set up an agency with subpoena and legal prosecutorial power to oversee college athletics.

Agree with all but the last part.
