Seriously, though, those Bilas tweets are pretty surprising to me and very encouraging.

I was thinking the same thing. For him to come out that strongly is a good sign.
I'll say this though, i'm pretty neutral on the whole UNC going down thing. I would much rather see UNC fight the NCAA, not comply with anything and lead a charge into getting a new system set up or something. I don't like UNC at all but seeing our rivalry with them diminish for the foreseeable future wouldn't be fun. Now, if NC State or Maryland was about to get hammered I would be all for it, but the rivalry with UNC is special regardless of the dislike we all have for them. It's college basketball's best rivalry. It would for me personally be a shame to see any competitiveness in the rivalry completely vanish for an extended period of time.

The next time one of them says "Corey Magette! or Well, Lance Thomas..." I may piss myself laughing.

Re: Emmert speaks out about Weinstein report
Sadly I agree unc86.
Of course Emmert didn't have anything to say about the transparency and accountability we've demonstrated. He didn't have anything to say about the reforms we've implemented. He didn't say that we now have stronger governance in place than most schools. He didn't say that we offer a higher quality education than most schools. Any of that would go against their strategy which will be to paint us as a nefarious outlier, the dark corner of NCAA academics. Reality couldn't be further from the truth.

It would be the equivalent of three student athletes per team per year over that period of time,” Cunningham said, referencing the 18-year period in which athletes and non-athletes alike used bogus classes to boost their GPAs. “So as bad as it was, as long as it was, it's really starting to sink in that there was maybe one, two, three classes for somebody – so that might be six or nine hours out of 120 that it takes to graduate. So it's shocking but as you have a little more time to look at it it's not quite as bad as I was thinking it was 48 hours ago.”
