University of North Carolina scandal

I've been following the scandal at UNC.
1500 students took bogus classes.
This does not surprise me at all, its big money college sports programs.
There is every incentive to cheat, its about money.
What surprises me is that Chancellor Carol Folt of UNC said she was shocked.
If she is shocked, then she knows nothing about big time college sports.
I'm shocked that she is shocked.
You are smart enough to become Chancellor of a major University, you should be smart enough to know big time college sports is totally corrupted.

Here is the root of the problem for UNC.
Their fans demand the best college basketball team in the country.
The reality is that they don't even have the best basketball team in their small community due to Duke basketball.

Is anyone else reminded of Casablanca?

Renault: I am shocked, shocked, to find gambling going on in this establishment
Croupier: Your winnings, sir.
Renault: Thank you.

Its known as plausible deniability.

The chancellor probably has seven layers of assistants who make sure no documents touch her in box that even suggest the UNC sports is not pure or even might be influenced by money rather than academic interests.

I have read the columns of Dr. Mike Adams off and on for about 10 years and this comes as no surprise. He has written about the joke courses the place has had for feminists for years. Why not for others?
