Mens basketball and football werent even mentioned in that one. I can appreciate what youre saying but Id rather roll the dice with an noa that doesnt even fricken name the two main sports as opposed to whatever absolute ass raping thats about to take place now.But thats just me apparently because whoever the esteemed brain trust is at UNC didnt see it that way or perhaps thought the Ncaa wouldnt call their bluff.
Oops.
I understand your point, but we'll have to agree to disagree. It's completely impossible that anyone on our end was expecting an all new NOA because of something that didn't warrant one. Especially when we didn't provide any new information in our challenge, compared to our response during the 2nd NOA when we spilled the beans on Men's Soccer and WBB.
The Uni would have had to accept the 2nd NOA regardless of the challenge we issued.
Here's a summary of this whole thing for those who forgot:
1. NCAA: After Our long and drawn out investigation, Here's your 1st NOA.
2. UNC: Oh wait, here's some information about Men's Soccer and WBB.
3. NCAA: Cool, thanks. Here's a milder NOA. (2nd NOA)
4. UNC: Actually, we don't think you're in any position to pass jurisdiction in this matter (Challenge of the 2nd NOA)
5. NCAA: Nice try but no. (Rejection of Challenge).
Should have been on to the COI
6. *Sankey enters the frey; 90+ days later*
7. NCAA: Actually the way, here's your
new new and harsher NOA. That's what you get for challenging us!
Somewhere between 5 and 7 is where the NCAA ****ed up.
