As if real african-american studies degrees weren't fake enough.

quote:
More than 3,000 students at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill received credit for fake classes over an 18-year period as part of a program that allowed many of them to remain eligible to play sports, according to a report released on Wednesday.
quote:
The report does not incriminate any coaches or athletic administrators in the scheme, which it said was carried out by a former department head and former office administrator within the African and Afro-American Studies department.
quote:
Many of them were directed to the courses by counselors in the Academic Support Program for Student-Athletes, the report said, with some counselors going so far as to provide rosters of athletes and the grades they needed to maintain eligibility.

You're obviously unfamiliar with the More Sports Board.

No faculty or no attendance? So like the classes Jonny Football or Cam Newton took...AKA online classes.....18 years huh? I guess UNC was/is just ahead of the curve.

Online classes actually have faculty. 
I believe they're talking about setting up a class with no requirement other than a paper to be written and everybody either got an A or B.

We've had a thread on the USC board about it for a long time.
Glad the story is finally getting some national attention. They deserve the death penalty in both football and basketball but they wont get it

More fun facts: The AD for UNC at that time is now the ACC commissioner.

Sorry, the SEC-W only has room for one terrible team right now, and we're firmly in the slot. Plenty of room for more shitty teams in the East, though.
