The Student Athletes Human Rights Project filed a complaint Friday with the federal Office for Civil Rights alleging the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill discriminated against male athletes, especially black, male athletes, in assigning more of them to so-called 'paper classes.' In directing athletes to those classes, the complaint says, the university deprived them of the same quality education available to other student-athletes.

Now I'll shut up before someone says I approve of Capel.
How much more serious than the impending post-season ban and loss of scholaships does the trouble with the NCAA need to be?

I think it could be much more serious (not that the impending problems aren't serious) when a school gets into legal problems and having NCAA investigations --- Take UConn for example, they were ineligible for post-season last year because of grades, GPA, whatever the letters are :? and they are playing in the National Championship Game tonight --- It's not a death sentence or anywhere close to that ---

Lighten up. Not a "'juvenile" indictment of each individual coach's work ethic, but a realistic comment on where our program has been taken(i.e. dumpster fire). The results on and off the court were unacceptable. This caring, hardworking staff had to be held accountable, and that's why they are gone. If my saying that they created a stench offends you, so be it.
Why would it offend me? - I don't know Jason Capel nor any of his assistants - I just hope no one on MMB faces a similar situation, working hard to succeed in an aspect of his/her professional/personal life only to have someone come along say "get the Lysol and remove the stench" once said endeavor turns out to be unsuccessful ---
Unfortunately there were issues with arrests, multiple suspensions, serious grade issues, and back door deals to get him the job. So in the case I'd say it is fair to describe the program as having a stench to it as of now.
and the only example of the above listed offenses is APP State Basketball? - Did he have the power to make the back door deal himself to secure the job? - if not, then I don't see that as his fault ---
You're right, the football team has had the first 2 issues as well. Luckily, Scott is doing his best to clean up the stench he inherited too. 8-)
It's Bush's fault...I mean Moore's. :ugeek:
