re: Well Ole Miss, UNC just received their 3rd NOA

Difference is we didn't straight up say "frick you we'll do what we want" publicly like UNC did. That is what will hurt them.

Ole Miss is absolutely, fricked.

Actually UNC has been as forthcoming with the NCAA as any other university has been. Considering the NCAA's response to that cooperation, I don't know why any university would ever willingly open the doors to the NCAA again.

From UNC's side, evidently the university and NCAA enforcement staff spent many months of discussion over the findings in the original NOA which led to the Amended NOA (ANOA). The ANOA was much lighter and references to Men's basketball and football were withdrawn.

Even still, UNC's reps believed some of the remaining accusations had no foundation to stand on or were not within the NCAA's jurisdiction to govern. An unprecedented meeting was called between the NCAA and UNC to discuss jurisdictional matters to be held 32 days from the notice. There is a requirement of the NCAA to provide materials for meetings at least 30 days prior. So UNC had two days to submit evidence that backed their claims. UNC attempted to submit evidence past the 30 day deadline that consisted of letters of correspondence between UNC and the NCAA enforcement staff that led to the creation of the ANOA. We're told your commissioner Sankey rejected the submissions. Then your commissioner and his NCAA Committee on Infractions used the lack of the very evidence we attempted to submit to suggest that the NCAA enforcement staff revisit the ANOA and revert back to the original NOA.

So basically, one committee of the NCAA admitted they could not find evidence to punish UNC on certain aspects of the NOA, and then another NCAA committee (led by the SEC commissioner) refused to accept that and is trying to play hardball. Some have speculated that Sankey is trying to weaken some of his competition (ACC) by going hard after UNC. Some have speculated the NCAA is in Sankey's crosshairs and he's hoping this goes to court. Whatever the case, UNC has respectable representation and it's looking more and more like the courts may decide this matter.
