That is perfect. My office is at 5th & Market. If anybody is up for dinner near St. Joe's before the game at around 5:30, please PM me.

The NCAA Committee on Infractions will release its final report on the UNC academic scandal tomorrow at noon, to include any penalties.

When it comes to athletes, "UNC academics" might be considered an oxymoron.

The big question: Will Roy be on the bench for the Bucknell game? We're the second non-exhibition game of the UNC season, so even a short suspension could mean he's not.

Classes with high grades and no professorial oversight? My GPA could have used a couple of classes like that!!!

And the UNC courses were even easier than you state: "no faculty involvement; no class attendance; no compliance with independent study requirements; high grades awarded by a staffer and in some cases forged grades". And in some cases, no work at all - literally. Just sign up for the course and then await your high grade.

False alarm. UNC says the report will not be released tomorrow. However it does sound like it will be soon.

"Based on the source’s report that an email had been sent out by the NCAA, The News & Observer tweeted on Thursday morning that the ruling was expected to be released on Friday.

Hours after the NCAA sent that email, though, the university announced that the NCAA’s final report would not be released on Friday due to 'scheduling circumstances.' UNC on Friday is set to announce a multibillion-dollar fundraising campaign, and campus events are scheduled throughout the weekend.

'Due to scheduling circumstances, there will be no release (on Friday) regarding the NCAA Committee on Infractions decision,' Joel Curran, UNC’s vice chancellor of communications, said in a statement.

Who’s calling the shots here anyway? Sounds like the NCAA is doing its best to cooperate with UNC.

Preview of St. Joes, who looks primed for a much better season:

St. Joes eyes step forward after injury-plagued 2016-17

Excerpt:

"Five Hawks missed at least seven games because of injury in 2016-17. That includes key cogs such as senior guard Shavar Newkirk (19 games, torn left ACL), senior forward James Demery (10 games, stress fracture in left foot) and junior guard Lamarr “Fresh” Kimble (seven games, left foot fracture).

In addition, forward Lorenzo Edwards missed all but one game because of shoulder surgery, while forward Pierfrancesco “Checco” Oliva missed the entire season after having knee surgery.

The Hawks have healed and now return their top-six scorers from a season ago, plus four guys that played at least 14 minutes in that tournament loss to Oregon the prior season."


- - - - -

St. Joes, btw, is picked for 5th place (out of 14) by Blue Ribbon, and as high as 3rd by some predictors. For those who have forgotten, they won the A10 in 2015-16 and won a first round game in the NCAA. A number of those players are still on the roster.

Phil Martelli is a quality guy. I met him one time at the Philadelphia airport and he was kind and gracious enough to talk hoops with me. He knew the old Bloomsburg coach Charlie Chronister and Coach Woollum well and had great things to say about both.

I would have loved this set-up! (Though it may have been problematic due to the facet at Bucknell dealing with the natural intrinsic learning inherent in most Bucknellians)

This UNC perk is the engine behind the many workings particular to Tobacco Road and without it the rivalry as well as regional economics and social mores of that area would not exist. How else would the UNC student body mingle with the Duke student body if they were constantly preoccupied with academics? This is exactly what gives that region stability. If one wants to gain an in-depth look at American social systems, look no further than a Friday night college party halfway between Duke and UNC. These UNC classes are essential to good college basketball and good neighborly relations.

Paulie, one of my colleagues graduated from Duke. When I showed her the article about UNC's "independent" classes, she responded, "Yeh, what did you expect?" That says it all.

The NCAA might possibly be the worst athletic governing body in the world . . . . . other than the Olympic Committee, FIFA, etc. (Actually, the list is LONG.) They are all money grubbing organizations that exploit people for their own benefit.

The report says that student athletes and student non-athletes "benefited" from the non-course courses, it was not a violation. LMAO

I thought there was a good chance they would skate. The NCAA ONLY has jurisdiction if it is a special program geared towards athletes. If it is simply a no-show course where everyone can get an undeserved A, then they have no disciplinary power over it.

I think they have become more nervous about overstepping their authority since they acted without any authority in the Penn State case. In that case, PSU initially gave the NCAA powers they didn't have under the NCAA bylaws, but when they later pushed back, the NCAA realized they might lose a court case and reduced the PSU punishment.

Then it is important the public acknowledges them for what they are. They are no better than any program Bob Huggins coached in my opinion.
