That was a pretty hard hitting segment the ESPN announcers did during the game.

I’m glad he’s getting another hearing, but it’s already frustrating that he missed out on an opportunity to play in front of friends and family. I hope all of those folks have the opportunity to make a trip to Chapel Hill to see him play one day soon.

I hope he sues them. Even if he wins the appeal he should sue them for having to miss the first game.

totally senseless. The NCAA, I mean.

If the timeline is the NCAA changed its rule after he transferred to UNC then its seems pretty open and shut. I would not be surprised if some at the ncaa are still pissed about UNC not caving on the AFAM issue and making them look weak publicly.

@andrew jones, when does the staff and Tez know what the committee has decided?

after their UNC investigation the ncaa looked biased and stupid, finding ZERO infractions after a lengthy, exhaustive on-campus investigation. especially when other favored programs were given mild sanctions or none at all for serious violations. in effect they've been stretching out the tez process to punish UNC for embarrassing them.

They don't know and won't until a decision is rendered. They are hanging by a thread with this like everyone else is.

Do you think a decision would be made today? If I remember correctly, they knew by Thursday last week.

AJ, I think we (meaning you) should put together a mass demonstration of our displeasure at NCAA headquarters, with hopes of forcing a favorable decision.

What could go wrong?
