(Run on sentence alert) The NCAA’s non-decision today to just say whatevs to UNC’s bogus academic system could potentially go down as having the most long-term ramifications of any previous ruling the organization has ever issued in the history of ever! This isn’t another internet hot take, because I honestly feel like the trajectory of college sports may have just been changed.
No one can really be surprised by what happened. We’ve seen this freight train slowly crawling towards the station for over a year. Kudos to UNC for playing it perfectly, Johnnie Cochran would have been proud.
