"UNC vacates ’08-’09 wins, strips nine scholarships"

[Chechem]

Nearly three months after receiving a Notice of Allegations from the NCAA, North Carolina has officially responded to accusations of major violations involving the football program.

And officially slapped itself on the wrist as well.

In its 111-page response, UNC acknowledged that it is “ is embarrassed and disappointed by these violations”, which involve both impermissible benefits and academic fraud.  The NCAA has accused the Tar Heels of committing nine major violations, including citing former assistant coach John Blake with “unethical conduct for providing false and misleading information to the NCAA enforcement staff and to the institution and for failure to cooperate with the investigation”;  student-athletes had received preferential treatment and accepted impermissible benefits; and ” the institution failed to adequately monitor the conduct and administration of the football program.”

As a result, UNC has proposed the following self-imposed sanctions:

    Vacate all wins (16 total) for the 2008 and 2009 seasons.
    Reduce by nine (three per year) the number of scholarships the football program may award 2012, 2013 and 2014.
    Two years probation
    Pay a monetary fine of $50,000

I think the NCAA makes them drop 5 schollys per year, 15 total, and fine at least $250K.

I don't know.  This was a surprising list of violations at a fine school.

I wonder if the fine level is set to cover costs of NCAA lawyers and others who traveled during the investigation?  It's not clear to me how they decided on that amount.

Tough call on this one. UNC used to be a favored child of the NCAA. Nine major violations is a lot. I think they hit them harder on scholly's, though. Good article.

I always thought UNC had a clean program and that was why they lost so many games. Now this, it made my eyes open wider. Does this hit the Athletic department some way. Reason I ask is it going to affect the BB program any? RTR!
