When the favorite in the finals of the NCAA championship basketball tournament is currently under investigation for one of the most egregious academic fraud cases ever in college sports is it really March Madness?
Or is it simply March Normal?
Seems appropriate that North Carolina has an edge against Villanova in the battle to be the biggest and the baddest in college basketball. In terms of NCAA allegations, UNC is the reigning champ.
For nearly two decades, UNC gave ??paper courses,?? where nearly 3,000 students, about half of them athletes, took phantom courses that never took place. The only requirement was a paper that got a high grade no matter what.
Compare that to North Carolina??s Final Four opponent on Saturday, Syracuse.
At Syracuse, some employees were actually writing the papers for student/athletes.? After investigations into the Syracuse athletic program, the NCAA vacated more than 100 wins, and Coach Jim Boeheim sat out the first nine games of this year.
What will happen to Carolina?
