He had The good guys and UNC in his top 2.
Good luck, young man. Study hard and go to class.
Optional at UNC.
Why on earth would anyone attending UNC do that? To be different I suppose.
I'm sure my daughter, rising senior at UNC-CH and Moorehead Caine Scholar, would love to know where these fake classes are held.
fuck off
That's kind of an extreme reaction. Just wanted to provide context to the comments that other posters were posting. UNC was caught providing fake classes to athletes for almost two decades.
No need to get hostile - it happened, and really had nothing to do with your daughter or her educational pursuits. Nice humblebrag, by the way ;), and congrats on her success!
It was a brag. Not even humble about it.
Fuck off. Again.
Well aren't you a ray of sunshine!
(And in retrospect, a pretty big douchebag!)
Nice edit.
Thanks! I went to a fake class at UNC to learn how to do that! :D
You more like summer school. No class.
I have no class for posting a link to an article that reports on the academic fraud that took place at UNC?
Wow, okay, whatever floats your boat, man!
I thought you were enjoying the spirited repartee. Just trying to fit in, man.
Too hard to tell sarcasm on the internet. Also, too many *really serious* people in here these days, it seems.
Happy your offspring is a contributing member of society, and hope your day isn't ruined - ha!
Go Blue!
Just glad you're looking out for the scholar athletes everywhere ;)
Not looking out for anyone - just posted a link that outlines the widely reported academic fraud at UNC by their "scholar" athletes.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_North_Carolina_academic-athletic_scandal
The section titled "Actions by the university," is a pretty good section.
What would we do without your internet skills?
Apparently not know that UNC athletics was one of the biggest perpetrators of academic fraud in the history of the collegiate education system. You should be mad at them, not some random who posted a link on a sports message board lol.
Anyway, things to do before watching some baseball, let's Go Blue!
You missed the conclusion (look for it. closely.):
You apparently didn't read the last paragraph.
Remind me which paragraph contains the relevant and binding information? Also mentions this Michigan of ours as a point of comparison. But I'll leave you to your pregaming. Go Blue.
It doesn’t take a UNC degree to figure out her dad is a pathetic loser
LMAO "My daughter is a RISING senior at UNC (The Chapel Hill), and SCHOLAR"
^^^Seriously dude
She's not FALLING!
Athletes and scholars are not always the same type of student. But please continue being unreasonably upset on a blog on behalf of your daughter, who I’m sure is the smartest woman ever!!!!
Liberal arts school... do they even have any engineering programs?
At least M is known for it's Nuclear, and Civil engineering...
one of the reasons I always cheer for NCSU in football (Nuke program)
Mom, mom, I created a database today that allows me to index people by last name using C++. That’s nice, honey, now go do something fun and useful like writing a novel about the dangers of our Soviet communism and try not to let Stalin, Jr. catch on, in the mean time.
Although, I’m sure all the dead comrades will be thrilled by your otherwise useless technology being used to index the dead online.
What a fool you are, crisped - in too many ways to list.
A true honor coming from the least popular interneter in the history of the internet.
You mean ex-least popular interneter in the history of the internet.
Congrats on taking the belt. ?
You asked
You asked...someone answered your question...problem?
I feel confident that your smart daughter who is making the school zero point zero dollars a year, other than her tuition, isn’t treated identical to an athlete (that may change their athletic program and single handedly generate thousands, sometimes millions, of dollars) in the classroom. At least not at a school that has been well documented as providing such improprieties to athletes.
Your post is the equivalent of me commenting on someone’s post about how Instagram models probably get paid to promote bogus products by saying, “are you also accusing my daughter with 86 followers that she’s getting paid to lie about weight loss products”?
How do you know she's making the school "zero dollars a year"? And Moorehead Cain means she isn't paying tuition. I lost your point somewhere after that.
You sound like the type that tells the grocery store checkout lady, “here’s a picture of my daughter who goes to UNC on full scholarship. Please validate me”
No. More like someone who gets pissed that sportsball fans denigrate a good school for sportsball reasons. Otherwise I'm sure I'm the first person to brag about my kid.
Feel free to google “biggest college athletic scandals of all time”.
Here are 2 in the top 10:
- University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill football scandal – over ten football players received improper benefits and committed academic fraud by turning in coursework prepared by tutors.
- University of North Carolina academic-athletic scandal – in a follow-up to the UNC football scandal, new accusations of academic fraud arose in relation to the university's African and Afro-American Studies department and men's basketball program, men's football team, women's soccer and other sports as well. The Wainstein Report, an independent report commissioned by UNC, revealed academic fraud that occurred over at least 18 years involving thousands of students and student athletes. Allegedly, thousands of student athletes were directed by the UNC administration to take "sham" classes in order to maintain eligibility. UNC avoided major NCAA penalties, mainly because said sham classes had been offered to the entire student body.
I don't see anything in there about instagram models. Where were you going with that one?
Clearly the brains on your daughter came maternally.
Because I can't figure out your super witty instagram comment?
I’ll help you out:
You trying to compare your daughter’s academic experience to that of a top tier athlete at an institute that has been shown to provide improper benefits to top tier athletes is like me trying to compare the monetary exploits of Instagram models to that of my 14 year old daughter and her 86 followers.
I think 86 instagram followers is a pretty good start for a 14 year old. I mean, it's not a Moorehead Cain Scholarship. But tell her to keep at it!
I’m not impressed with your daughter, it’s weird to brag about a scholarship to an ACC school not named duke. I am impressed that you somehow equate people bringing up athletes committing academic fraud as an accusation on the general student body. I am even more impressed by your insistence on embarrassing yourself.
Lighten up, Francis
Bagman cometh
More likely, Jones saw that A.J. Jennings cometh to UM, therefore his (Jones) expected playing time here goeth.
Or it could be that the kid lives in NC and UNC Chapel Hill is a GREAT school. Not a good school...but a great school. Easily top 5-10 public university.
Assuming they take real classes
For the average student, yes. For athletes, academics is not a priority, which has been widely reported. UNC is a joke.
