There is, at last, perhaps an end in sight to UNC-Chapel Hill’s long-running NCAA investigation. The university on Tuesday submitted its response to another NCAA notice of allegations and, barring another delay – and there have already been several – the university will likely appear before the NCAA Committee on Infractions in August.
That is, at least, if all goes according to schedule. Few things have in an investigation into years of African Studies courses that UNC’s accrediting agency found to be fraudulent. The NCAA investigation has focused on how those courses benefited athletes, who enrolled in disproportionate numbers and were found to have received high grades in return for little work.
