That would be a big blow for them. (66 that's not a reference to Louisville)

I knew it wasn't.  Just my warped sense of humor.

Fake Classes and/or Hookers <<<<<<Bumper Stickers

or a few extra phone calls.  Either way...stickers and phone calls really hurt the student athletes compared to those other minor offenses.

Maybe there's still hope that UNC gets more than a little tap on the wrist.

NCAA rejects UNC’s arguments in Notice of Allegations response

By Rob DausterOct 25, 2016, 3:36 PM EDT

The saga of the NCAA vs. North Carolina took another step forward on Tuesday.

In August, when North Carolina responded to the NCAA’s Notice of Allegations, the school did their best to try and get off of a technicality. We went in-depth on the matter here, but in short, UNC found documents that they believed showed that the NCAA had determined, in 2013, that no rules were broken and that, during the investigation, the association tried to hide this ruling from the school.

The NCAA responded to those allegations last month and UNC released those documents on Tuesday. From the News & Observer:

NCAA officials have told UNC-Chapel Hill that its largely due-process arguments to shut down an infractions case involving bogus classes that disproportionately benefited athletes are “without merit.”

[…]

“The new information provided, for the first time, a complete picture of the athletics department’s preferential access to anomalous AFRI/AFAM courses and, in some cases, how it used those courses to retain NCAA academic eligibility for student-athletes,” the NCAA’s enforcement staff said.

The NCAA also determined that the violations were not mandated by a four-year statute of limitations and that the extent of the misconduct was not truly known until 2014, the result of the Kenneth Wainstein investigation. The document that North Carolina referenced in their response to the Notice of Allegations was from 2013.

Duke freshman forward Harry Giles underwent a left knee arthroscopy (second time he's had surgery on his left knee) on Monday and is expected to be out six weeks, the team announced.

"We're very pleased with the outcome of today's procedure," head coach Mike Krzyzewski said in a statement. "This is the right step for Harry at the moment as it will help him be 100 percent going forward. Harry has done a tremendous job in rehabilitation over the last year and I'm sure he'll continue to do the same after this procedure."

The 6-foot-11 Giles is part of Duke's heralded freshmen class that also includes fellow forwards Jayson Tatum and Marques Bolden.

Giles is projected as the No 3 pick in the 2017 NBA Draft by DraftExpress.com. He tore the ACL, MCL and meniscus in his left knee in 2013 and missed his sophomore season at Wesleyan (N.C.) Christian. He also tore his right ACL and was forced to miss his senior season at Oak Hill Academy (VA.).

The projected No. 1 team in the nation, Duke will open the season on Nov. 11 against Marist.

Tough times @ Duke. Tatum went down with a foot injury that "didn't look good."

Good. At the pace this is going, when they get the hammer thrown at them in 8-10 years time, UNC brass and many other folks will bring the argument that the staff and these kids had nothing to do with the indiscretions of the past and the penalties levied will be washed aside due to 'good behavior'.

It does seem like UNC is bidding time.  Possibly waiting for Ole Roy to retire and then try to slide off on them replacing the staff that did it.

That is the dumbest way of spelling Carter I've ever seen in my life. Some parents should have their naming privileges taken away
