Unc has avoided that.

People don't joke about UNC because it's a much more serious case, imo.

Having tests asking how many points a three pointer is worth makes for easy jokes. UNC didn't have that, but it's a much more significant case of academic fraud.

This really points at the opposite of what you're implying though. Nothing about *how* UGA handled the situation did anything to meaningfully impact the results. It was comical/humorous, and the easy target of a joke, but at the end of the day, it was going to get forgotten pretty quickly because it wasn't pervasive as in the case of UNC.

It is yet in the court of public perception, they have avoided the embarrassment we endured.
