Over the past few years, there have been more than a few claims that athletes at UNC received favorable treatment. In fact, the treatment was so favorable, that the athletes did not have to go to class. An administrator created a paper world which showed athletes attending and passing courses. Surprisingly, this went on for 18 years and at least 3,100 students benefited from these paper classes.
Thus far, four employees have been fired and five more disciplined because of their roles.
This is another indication of the primacy given to college athletics rather than to college education.
