THe difference is basically that the basketball program itself was responsible for and knew about the fake class that Harrick Jr. (an assistant coach) ran.

But the class was available for other students to take clearly. Based on the comments from the NCAA, the reason they are unable to penalize UNC has nothing to do with athletic program involvement, but rather that the benefit was not something that was exclusive to the student athletes.





So long as the university determines that it's not improper academic benefits, apparently the NCAA is incapable of passing judgement on it...
