I ain't worried about nothin.
HANH?!
Crisco you're gonna be hurting when it's all settled.
Worth worrying about did not happen.
As expected, Roy Williams and Larry Fedora were not named in the NOA and neither were any of their players beyond taking classes over which the NCAA has no jurisdiction. No coaches cheated (a la Syracuse) and no real academic improprieties were uncovered. The NCAA has been investigating this for so long that despite saying much of it was out of its purview something had to be alleged. How about a Notice that pretty much plagiarizes the Wainstein Report?
The media frenzy will continue with some shock jocks still crowing about Carolina sitting out the 2016 NCAA Tournament and missing another bowl game. If those sanctions ever happen, and they are rare after the Penn State debacle, the NCAA has to have ruled that an ineligible player was used or some serious cheating occurred. None of that is in the NOA.
Syracuse, by contrast, was charged with the basketball office being directly involved in writing term papers and facilitating illegal gifts to players, plus blowing drug test procedures and not promoting an atmosphere of compliance. The Orange lost a dozen scholarships, must vacate a bunch of victories and coach Jim Boeheim was suspended for nine ACC games (which he is appealing). But no post-season sanctions beyond what the school self-imposed last season.
Six-to-nine months from now, UNC may get a sizable fine. Whatever penalties come to athletics, the price wont be close to what it cost Syracuse or, for that matter, what certain Tar Heel teams have already paid over the interminable last two years. Hang on, its almost over.
