Im watching the ESPN spot. The next question I have. When does Roy resign?

McCants:

"We all would load up in a car and go to the Tutor's house."

Who's we all? I mean seriously.

wtf espn. i think it's safe to change that question-mark in the headline to an exclamation-mark at this point.

Roy: "They don't give those things away. I went to school here...they don't give those things away."

6/6/2014 3:08:41 PM

dang ol' Roy is such a lying sack of shit

Best part about the 2 UNC employees on ESPN right now is that McCants can't read any of the books on the shelves behind them.

^McCants was actually fairly intelligent in high school...probably a lot smarter than Cat Barber or CJ Leslie. Other than Deunta Williams, he's probably the most literate former player that's spoken out against UNC.

He obviously can't handle a normal UNC student's course load...but he can read. He's also batshit crazy...so he has that working against him.

6/6/2014 3:24:09 PM

Adam and joe are gonna talk to that Bethel hack on the radio coming up.

https://twitter.com/BethelLearning

Methinks UNC shouldn't have an academic support staff member who seems to be eager to put his opinions out into the ether. Isn't that a FERPA violation

6/6/2014 3:29:32 PM

I could see that. More in reference to the whole 'McCant Read' signs from back when he played at visiting arenas.

I stopped caring about this UNC thing over a year ago. Still don't think anything will happen to Carolina, but my god this is incredible.

6/6/2014 3:29:40 PM

Cunningham saying he hopes to talk to McCants about continuing his education at UNC in the future. Why not just announce the hush money payments.

6/6/2014 3:30:30 PM

Wow not even a minute in and this Bethel cat is already being ridiculous.

6/6/2014 3:36:31 PM

According to UNC fans in the comments of articles today, McCants is obviously coming out with these bogus lies to sell his upcoming book

Seems legit

6/6/2014 3:40:25 PM

When you say "McCants is crazy", what do you mean? Does he actually have mental issues?

6/6/2014 3:43:27 PM

^^^ already had to turn it off. I like how they just randomly asked him to be on today via twitter response.

6/6/2014 3:49:08 PM

Yeah that guy was all LAWYER.


"What exactly do you mean by "is" when you say the Carolina Way is a joke?"

6/6/2014 4:04:01 PM

nothing will come of this unfortunately

and still eff mccants, i think this is him when he made the game winning free throws against nc state

I'M SO EXCITED AND CONFUSED.

6/6/2014 6:15:38 PM

Do any of the Kerliner apologists have an excuse for how McCants managed to get straight A's one semester?

6/6/2014 6:28:23 PM

Look man, those classes were open to ALL UNC students. Everyone got an A or a B in those classes.

Honestly, my favorite counter argument to this is the whole, "well look at all these guys who did go to class and had a great educational experience!"

Reminds me of the Chris Rock "Nigga you're supposed to take care of your kids!" You don't get credit for the stuff you're supposed to do nor does that make what they said untrue.

Says a UNC fan on facebook

6/6/2014 11:40:16 PM

The former players on Mccants' team came out with a collective statement saying that they all went to class and supported academic integrity blah blah blah. It sounded good coming from all 15 of them.

6/7/2014 12:26:26 AM

That's nice, but it only takes one to make it not count, just ask Michigan about those final four banners they had to take down because of CWebb.

Wonder who wrote it for them?

The issue is the NCAA does not have the manpower and resources to investigate internal academics issues unless they get a lead. The African American Studies department of UNC-Chapel Hill is not inside their responsibility, it's inside UNC-Chapel Hill's responsibility, but that's like a fox guarding a henhouse if Chapel Hill finds a couple academics that can be corrupted. Only reason they found out about the tutor was a couple players very publicly went to a party in Miami. And this spawned out of that.

If we lived in a just world with consequences for people's misdeeds, which we don't, Chapel Hill's African American Studies department would have its accreditation pulled or at least under heavy scrutiny in addition to Nyang'oro's legal issues, but the accreditation agency are not in the business of making waves. As long as college sports make money, it's going to be in the interest of schools to look the other way and skirt corners.

Yep. Sean May said he even had to write a 25-page paper for one of them... Hey, Sean, let's put all of this to rest; how about you show us that paper you wrote?

Picked out this gem:

Quote :

"(Meanwhile, in the aftermath of his report into the phony classes, former Gov. Jim Martin had this to say: “My opinion was basketball players wouldn’t tell us anything we didn’t know from other sources.” Whoops.)"

In other words, he didn't even bother to ask the basketball players anything. I wonder why.

hahaha, Mary Willingham provided records to back up McCants' story! I predict her access is pulled and she gets fired, allowing this shit to hit the fan massively.

6/7/2014 4:35:03 PM

Does anyone know if this could result in anything, e.g. NCAA involement, etc or is it just bad press for them?

6/7/2014 9:10:44 PM

For anyone else, it would result in NCAA involvement. For UNC, it will result in absolutely nothing

6/8/2014 12:06:54 AM

The NCAA las laid its cards on the table. UNC's academic issues are an "internal" issue according to them, and thats the sole reason why they refuse to intervene.

I think if they were to punish UNC, it could open a can of worms where UNC could lawyer up, and allege(and maybe prove) similar things happen at other Univs( for eg: Kansas, or Kentucky)

[Edited on June 8, 2014 at 12:59 AM. Reason : ]

6/8/2014 12:57:49 AM

I'd say it's going to be a high bar to prove that there exists an entire fake academic department at Kansas and Kentucky where players just plain don't have classes. Maybe they exist, but I would be surprised

6/8/2014 1:10:32 AM

Is there a McCants transcript?
