Once again, you're adding stuff to my post that isn't there. I said


"If the accrediting authority or other authority finds a violation, i.e., that classes were fake or otherwise did not meet an accredited standard."

I did not say that the NCAA would or should be the academic arbiter, only that they have the latitude within the framework of their organization (which gets federal pnp status based on their academic purpose...a very tangible benefit which makes ALL of us stakeholders...which I also quoted for you) to take actions counter to or otherwise undermining that purpose which could cause the organization to lose that status.

I also didn't say ANYTHING about level of difficulty of classes. I said "fraud".

I don't care if athletes or anyone else takes easy classes. I care if they don't actually take a class or if the class isn't actually a class at all. I care about plagiarism. I care if someone else does their work. I care if their grade is based on their status as an athlete. I care if a grade is changed based on a phone call from someone of influence. I care if athletes are given priority access to courses over the general student population.

ALL of the above occurred at UNC. UNC failed "to integrate intercollegiate athletics into higher education so that the educational experience of the student-athlete is paramount". Over the course of many years, they made a mockery of that purpose.

The notion that the NCAA lacks authority to take any sort of action within the framework of the sports it governs is preposterous. They should lose their pnp status tomorrow.
