Four things to take away from the notice of allegations
The University of North Carolina released its 55-page notice of allegations from the NCAA on Thursday which detailed five offenses characterized as "Level 1", or the most serious of NCAA infractions. The NCAA described the 18-year history of aberrant and irregular classes in the African and Afro-American Studies Department at UNC as an impermissible benefit for student athletes, as well as charging that former faculty chair and women's basketball academic adviser Jan Boxill provided improper assistance and special arrangements to women's basketball players. And as expected, the NCAA levied its most serious charge, lack of institutional control, for UNC's failure to monitor Boxill and failure to address the paper class scheme in the AFAM department.
