Well, we're just gonna need to see what Hubert can do because nobody, on either side of the isle, knows right now.

Obviously we're hoping he fails for two reasons: so Duke won't hire someone from the family and so UNC sucks, lol.

Yeah that's all fine. I just hate the idea of "keeping it in the family." 

UNC doesn't do the mercenary hire. Because UNC is a Dean Smith family, and ties to Dean are important because he did things the honorable way. 

These players are young men that need guidance as they become adult men. The Dean Smith approach is a wonderful way to do that, just as Hubert Davis was taught. Keep this tradition going.

The honorable way was creating fake majors and courses to keep athletes eligible?

The conspiracy goes all the way back to the time of famed coach Dean Smith, under whom 54 men's basketball players were enrolled in fake courses. Former UNC basketball Head Coach Matt Doherty told investigators that when he took over, Smith told him that he shouldn't change any academic support system staff—leaving little doubt that the coaches were in on the scam

Quote

Dean Smith didn’t argue any prospect’s case to admissions; he left that to his assistant Eddie Fogler. But the coach was well aware of the concessions being made. “No matter what universities tell you, they make significant admission allowances for athletes,” he told SI before the ’95–96 season. “No college team that has made the Final Four over the past 20 years has had a starting team made up of players who got 1,000 on their college boards.”

96.6% graduation rate while committing probably the largest academic fraud scheme in the history of collegiate athletics. 

Lol. So incorrect. 3.5-yr investigation and the NCAA fully cleared North Carolina. No trolling plz. 

Old stuff anyway, new head coach Hubert Davis is busy recruiting and can't be bothered with silliness.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — The N.C.A.A. did not dispute that the University of North Carolina was guilty of running one of the worst academic fraud schemes in college sports history, involving fake classes that enabled dozens of athletes to gain and maintain their eligibility.

But there will be no penalties, the organization said, because no rules were broken.

In a ruling that caused head-scratching everywhere except Chapel Hill, the N.C.A.A. announced on Friday that it could not punish the university or its athletics program because the “paper” classes were not available exclusively to athletes. Other students at North Carolina had access to the fraudulent classes, too.

Noting that distinction, the panel that investigated the case “could not conclude that the University of North Carolina violated N.C.A.A. academic rules,” the N.C.A.A. said in a statement.
