So, basically....no one "in the know" knew anything.
So basically they are going to release this ncaa crap Friday before LNWR

- Start date
Did UNC's reputation take a hit? For having classes every other school has? UNC still has one of the top rankings for public universities year in and out. If anything, ****, PJ Hairston gave us more of a hit for our reputation than this.
Yes, it took a hit. Because of the media's (mostly false) portrayal of the situation.
I mean, let's be honest. He is right. Anyone who said they knew shit was full of shit. I feel like an idiot for listening to any of it.
I'm not starting a battle at all. A number of people claimed they knew stuff and didn't. It's a good reminder that message boards are fueled with emotion and rumor a lot of times.
The media has no reputation left to hit lol.
@heelmanwilm can speak to it better than I can, but there were folks who (literally) work for UNC who were saying "expect the worst." So this result is surprising to me!
That is the last I'll say of it though. In the end, doesn't matter. I'm so glad it's over.

I agree with that, but it still shows human emotion drives things. No one knew. Speculation can be poison if it is accepted as fact. I go in businesses all the time to evaluate them and help them. Without fail, the rumor starts that the business is for sale and people start worrying about their jobs when the reality is ownership is paying to have my business in to help grow the business.
Internal people at UNC didn't know either. They just guessed. Don't get me wrong, I completely thought there would be some sanctions and UNC would fight it. Maybe the FBI thing helped make this go away too.
Like you said, I'll take the result and be happy.
I'm celebrating not because of us getting off, but for each and every one of the rival fans who simply wanted to see us punished regardless of what happened because of the amount of banners in the Dean Dome, not because of any real interest in our academics.
And I'm having a great time at their expense.

This is the truth. They hid behind a mirage of pretending they were outraged about some academic misgivings when really it's just jealousy.
But they have damaged UNC beyond measure ... perhaps this should be the subject of our appeal. They raked us through the coals for years. What has this cost UNC in travel expenses, salaries, reputation. I would expect NCAA to make an offer to UNC to quell some of this!
Again I say ... F the NCAA!!!
Someone put @KellenPatrick on suicide watch. Like, he may actually kill himself over this.
No doubt. The fact he took us to two championship games under this cloud is incredible.
I don't think we are damaged beyond repair. Recruits, etc live in the short term so we will be fine. We just won a Title and that says a lot more. If we get recruits and win, more recruits will come.
You mean the Sky is not falling...hard to believe after reading so much CRAP here for so long...
When it was reported that the NCAA has maybe wanted to release their findings last friday but didn't due to a scheduling conflict, UNC statement by the way, then it was clear, we didn't have their findings so how could anyone have known what was going to be found it UNC did not know and the NCAA had to at least give us their findings before they released them publicly.
I think very clearly that is absolutely proven today because had UNC known what those findings were going to be do ya really think UNC would not have LOVED to have that BEFORE their big time fund raising event?
So I am at sup dogs as we type with my family first was in Johnny t-shirt buying yet another UNC shirt. When I looked at my phone and realized it's 11:50 I jumped on my phone and found this.TAARRRR HEELLLLLLSSSSSS!!! No santions and I am so ready for late night. Going to the art museum and then finishing up at the Carolina basketball museum. See everyone there tonight yeeeesssss
