From a News & Observer article:

"UNC is now a symbol of sports out of control. That is a far cry from the vaunted “Carolina Way,” under legendary basketball coach Dean Smith, where winning with integrity was the watchword.

I think this writer has failed to follow the facts in this case or has been nipping out of the kool aid jug way too much and too often. If anyone has the charts showing enrollment in the AfAm courses going way back to the "vaunted "Carolina Days" days, perhaps they could share it with Mr. Christensen.

Even writers like Ed Hardin, of the Greensboro News & Record (and he is more often a Carolina guy than not), have seen enough contrary facts (contrary to what Mr. Christensen is relying upon) to write:

"The investigation by the Cadwalader law firm and former Homeland Security adviser Kenneth Wainstein proved beyond a doubt that academic fraud occurred, that it was institutional and that it went back to the days when Dean Smith was still coaching basketball."

It won't be long until we will be reading about how it wasn't really Dean Smith who was the impetus for the AfAm Department but only his doppelgänger. Are you going to believe your lying eyes and the slanderous stuff your have had put before you or the revisionist story that is still unfolding?

The body of the NCAA COI report is still warm in the grave but yet the rewriting - or maybe the reverification of the old story - of the hagiography (I don't get to use this word often and can't miss a chance to do so :confused:) of the sainthood of Dean Smith has started already.
