Basically UGA was stupid and should have just fought it every step of the way like UNC so that it would just get washed over and nothing would happen.

From an athletic perspective, it was stupid.

UNC has taken a reputation hit that UGA avoided with their handling of the scandal.

I would disagree. Timing makes it seem so, and we're in a different media age at this point than 2003-ish. UNC has definitely taken a bit of a PR hit, but UGA was getting the same dings. UNC continues to rate highly in the top universities rankings, and this scandal will not do anything to dramatically impact that. This investigation has been going on for over 3 years now...

Definitely... I just think it was stupid overall. You were taking the PR hit either way... admission of guilt didn't offer up any benefit that I can see.

I don't know we were hammered by the National media across the country including the tonight show.

I suppose ours went away much quicker but I think we took a much louder hit.

I would say the opposite. Uga was a national joke. Unc has avoided that.

And every prospect that UNC offers a BB or FB scholly will ask if those courses are still available.
