Do feel foul for the, possibly, 10,000 student athletes whose lives will be completely disrupted as a result of all of this litigation.

But, hey, you wanted it. Screw those 10,000 kids !
As far as outside donors influencing university staff, to me this is old news; but now they can show their faces.
The difference now is the, from-the-debbil, collectives.

Before - “Oh well, he did give millions, but there are plenty of other car dealers out there who would like to have a relationship with ol’ Whattsamatta U”

Now - “HOLY JOCKSNIFFERS, BATMAN! This cat has raised almost 2 gazillion samolians for us to pay our players’ salaries! Because of this, he now has a huge influence over all of our major donors and direct relationships with all of our student athletes and their families. He’s the guy who signs their million dollar paychecks. And he’s now threatening to stop paying them if we don’t start his Freshman daughter at QB this weekend and hire his 16 year old son as our Head Coach. … …. …. …” …. … .. … “OK, go fire Coach BeenHereForDecades, get the kid an Employee badge, and go by the Zeta House and tell his daughter to warm up her arm.”

Does the phrase Academic Eligibility apply at all anymore. Is going to class still a requirement?
No not really if any are still going to class it won’t be long before it is no longer a requirement.

AND…Why the heck would an organization made up of multiple organizations trying to maximize their revenues, force the personnel who are solely responsible (we’ve been told) for generating all of their revenues to ‘retire’ after only 4 or 5 years of employment? That would be insanity for any business. Years of eligibility limits run counter to EVERYTHING we are seeing in college athletics these days. And, if those from-the-debbil collectives can raise enuf kwan, these amazing revenue generators will be paid more for wearing the Crimson & Caramel of Whatsamatta U than they can make in other Professional Leagues.

Think Ingle Martin still has his arm-cannon? We can get him back on the field in Paladin Stadium next season.

Sad part is I have a great friend with a UNC degree -and she hates that this undermines all who have a UNC degree. By association.

I’ll share that another friend who is an attorney here in Greenville - big one - has a UNC undergrad and was in the AFAM classes where most of this took place (he took AFAM as elective) and professor literally told them “everyone gets an A. REGARDLESS of what you do. “. Wanting a legit degree and to become an attorney he immediately dropped the AFAM course.
