Is it over the bidding war with kentucky or the retainer bonus for his junior season? 11/2/2013 1:50:24 PM |

i know you're thinking that you're being objective but there's quite a lot of truth to what was said. time and again many of the "breaking news" stories on the unc scandal were conveniently released Friday afternoons. And I don't recall a single time where they had an entire teaser commercial about how a "investigative report" would be released in several days, and run that teaser commercial over and over again. It's quite obvious that they're not handling this "objectively".11/3/2013 1:11:37 PM |

Now I don't necessarily understand the Monday thing, but it is quite obvious that UNC has been releasing their FOIA requests and other self-incriminating info about their scandal on Fridays so that the heat cools down by Monday, when there is NFL and NCAA to talk. That's been their PR tactic all along...
face nails it again, this time on NCAA compliance. Every school cheats, I hope Gottfried can cheat on the level of UNC, but not get caught... tough though with those WRAL bastards right beside our campus trying to fuck with our program at every possible turn. That's what fucking rustles my jimmies, the huge margin of error in cheating that the NCAA & media affords to schools like UNC, Alabama and Duke, while NC State can't afford one tiny mistake lest our program gets burnt to the ground...

they reported on the UNC scandal(s) on a daily basis, yet there is only an anti-NC State bias when they do a report on us
of course it's sensationalized, and of course they are going to run ads for it during the UNC-State game. that's how tv works. 11/3/2013 1:25:09 PM |

The only way to know that is if we had an AFAM + Football + Fats scandal and all UNC had was some booster paying Reggie Bullock, you think WRAL would leave us untouched? Remember they had a chance to dig into the dentists and Fats angle but they didn't... 11/3/2013 1:28:18 PM |

this phenomenon of "breaking news on certain days" is not specific to UNC. this goes far beyond sports.

they had a chance to do an "investigative report" on so many issues of the unc scandal (and still do), but didn't for whatever reason. most of the "breaking news" stories that wral ran were published a while after the folks on packpride had already broke the stories.
and again, most of the time a new "prong" was revealed in a WRAL story, the article was in fact run on friday afternoons.
and again, i don't recall them running a teaser commercial about how they would be doing an "investigative report" in several days, and running the commercial over and over days in advance, even though "that's how tv works".
dude, i understand where you're coming from and i'm also annoyed with lots of state fans who believe in a curse, and nc state shit, and overreact about stupid shit, but you're being a bit obtuse by trying to be so "objective" in this instance. 11/3/2013 1:40:27 PM |

If the punishment fits the crime, then based upon what they did over at UNC, they should probably go ahead and award us a few extra scholarships per year and say we made the final four 2 years ago. 11/4/2013 9:36:41 AM |

As bad of a hack job as this is by WRAL, there are two important things to consider. Getting to the bottom of something, you have to A) investigate and B) have someone willing to talk about it. With regards to WRAL and UNC, neither is present. With NCSU, both are. Leak wants to clear the air and is willling to talk. WRAL is willing to listen. Shouldn't really be too much to this.
Keep in mind NCSU self reported the issue last year while sending Leak the offical disassociation letter. A no trespass letter was sent recently as well. NCSU is doing their part and keeping the NCAA advised. This is the opposite approach that UNC has taken with Fats, Chris Hawkins, John Blake, Wichard etc, etc. The only person UNC has thrown under the bus is the tutor AFTER it was revealed she was writing papers for the athletes that the NCAA discovered, not UNC reporting it. 11/4/2013 9:52:47 AM |
