Well Greg Sankey was the chairman of the infractions committee that basically cleared UNC. As a said on another post what they said in the UNC case was that since they, UNC, were giving grades to all students and not just athletes that athletes did not receive any special privileges. Therefore is was deemed not to be a violation. To me it worse than an NCAA and the Southern Association that accredits schools should take UNC’s academic accreditation away immediately. Doesn’t make any sense to me but that’s why UNC got off free.

The accreditation is really the only issue. There was no impermissible benefits as the classes were open to all students (even though we know the program directed the kids to the course for an easy A). If the NCAA overreached and acted outside it’s purview it would be open to what would surely be a successful lawsuit by UNC. It is what it is.
UNC did have similar circumstances in 2012 and did receive extensive punishment but it’s an imperfect comparison because UNC had some other big violations including impermissible agent benefits to the tune of about $31,000 as well as failure to monitor. This case is the better comparison and it seems to make a great argument that Mizzou was indeed hosed. The difference in punishment between the two incidents is not nearly large enough. In addition, UNC was praised by the NCAA for doing such a wonderful investigation. Mizzou seemed to get no credit for same.
