Latest NCAA allegations against UNC broaden the scope of potential penalties

UNC-Chapel Hill has released the third and latest notice of allegations from the NCAA alleging major violations related to the long-standing academic fraud.

The new notice includes an unethical conduct and extra-benefit violation against the two architects of the bogus class scandal – Deborah Crowder and Julius Nyang’oro. It says UNC and its athletics department “leveraged the relationship with Crowder and Nyang’oro to obtain special arrangements for student-athletes in violation of extra-benefit legislation.”

The NCAA sent UNC a new notice following a rare procedural hearing held by the Committee on Infractions on Oct. 28. That hearing was intended to deal with several due process issues UNC had raised to contend the fake class scheme should not be before the NCAA.
