You're right, Vadi. I checked in with our friends at syracusefan.com, and they want an immediate reinstatement of all of the wins taken away from Boeheim, as well as a return of the scholarships and $25 million. They are also questioning the efficacy of the legal talent that the Manchurian Chancellor hired. It's actually rather amusing. They are so simple and yet so entertaining... It's kind of like how a pie in the face is always funny...

Try as they might, the issue of lapsed regional accreditation is of limited impact to any current or prospective UNC-CH student. The kind of coursework that requires this imprimatur is in certain postgraduate specialties and it's not likely to disenfranchise a large number of undergraduate degree holders. Long term, this would be an issue, but the probation (as opposed to revocation) would suggest the UNC system will be on the mend. As for this ivory tower quote, let it be known that the McDonough School of Business was not accredited by the AACSB until 1983, 27 years after its founding. It did not damage enrollment then or now.

The issue for UNC undergraduates will be the inability to obtain federal funds for loans; if UNC loses its accreditation, it is ineligible for those funds. In such event, I believe that a significant portion of the student body would be disenfranchised.

I'm absolutely convinced that, when all is said and done, the NCAA will find a large enough rug under which to sweep nearly all of this and that the University and, specifically, the Men's BB program will not be punished remotely at a level commensurate with what went down there.

UNC was smart enough not to give recruits cream cheese for their bagels, or give a player bus fare to get home before mom went into surgery, so they should skate by. Fake university-wide classes? No problem.

I guess this falls in the "you're not the boss of me" category now.

Syracuse people must be mad they didn't think of this one... Funny, Elvado. Syracuse people thinking? But you can't forget that Syracuse's chancellor is one of my classmates from SFS and a very accomplished lawyer. chancellor.syr.edu/biography/index.htmlNotably absent in his official Syracuse bio is reference to his undergraduate institution. "Syverud earned a bachelor's degree magna cum laude from Georgetown University School of Foreign Service in 1977, a law degree magna cum laude from the University of Michigan Law School in 1981, and a master's degree in economics from the University of Michigan in 1983.[2] After graduating from law school, Syverud clerked for U.S. District Judge Louis F. Oberdorfer, and then for U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor during the October 1984 term,[3] shortly after she became the first woman named to the Supreme Court bench. Later, in private practice, Syverud was an associate at the Washington, D.C., law firm of WilmerHale." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kent_Syverud

UNC gives the finger to the NCAA. My, my, what will happen now? Stony Brook, South Alabama and Norfolk State had better look out.

Looks like the basketball program has been implicated again as a recipient of impermissible benefits: www.newsobserver.com/sports/college/acc/unc/article122420449.htmlOf course, this kicks the can further down the road. . .certainly past the 2017 Final Four. Maybe even the 2018 Final Four. What occurs first: NCAA penalties being imposed against North Carolina, or the North Carolina legislature repealing HB-2?

Horns of a dilemma: If North Carolina gets hit hard by the NCAA, and loses its championships, a storied program will be sullied. Yet, if they walk without significant penalties, our friends up at Eastern Lower Canada Community College will be screaming about how they were persecuted and UNC was impermissibly favored.
Sort of like watching Duke vs. Syracuse and rooting for the meteor.

Technically, he's correct. Academic fraud that does not originate in athletics should not penalize the athletic department because that's not what the NCAA rules govern. Reality may say otherwise, but I get the point. Put another way: if the sociology department at Georgetown somehow lost accreditation, should basketball be penalized as a result?
