Heads Carolina, Tails California

Though the headlines for off-the-field problems have been hogged by Penn State University and the coverup of sexual abuse/rape by a former defense coach of the football program, an equally troubling story isn't receiving near the amount of coverage because it harkens back to the Jan Kemp/University of Georgia scandal from the early 1980s.

In Chapel Hill, North Carolina, the University of North Carolina, every individual who has ever graduated from the flagship school of the state should have their head lowered in shame, knowing that for more than a decade primarily Black athletes (on both the football and basketball teams) have been involved in massive academic fraud:
Academic Fraud in the Afro-American History Department at UNC:
Football and basketball players accounted for nearly four of every 10 students enrolled in 54 classes at the heart of an academic fraud investigation at UNC-Chapel Hill, according to figures released Monday.
The classes were all within UNC’s Department of African and Afro-American studies. An internal probe released Friday produced evidence of unauthorized grade changes and little or no instruction by professors. Forty-five of the classes listed the department’s chairman, Julius Nyang’oro, as the professor. Investigators could not determine instructors for the remaining nine.
University officials say they found no evidence that the suspect classes were part of a plan between Nyang’oro and the athletic department to create classes that student-athletes could pass so they could maintain their eligibility. They said student-athletes were treated no differently in the classes than students who were not athletes. 

But the high percentages of student-athletes in the classes suggest to some that academic advisers, tutors and others in the athletic department may have guided them to the classes.

There were 686 enrollments for the 54 suspect classes. Of those, football players accounted for 246 of the enrollments, or 36 percent, while basketball players accounted for 23 enrollments, or three percent, according to UNC. Together, football and basketball players accounted for 39 percent of the enrollments.
Football and basketball players account for less than one percent of the total undergraduate enrollment – about 120 of the more than 18,500 undergraduate students on campus. On the other hand, many of the suspect classes were held in the summer, a time when many football players are on campus.

 It should be noted that of the enrollment of students at North Carolina, 3.4 percent are Black males. Much like the majority of the ideas touted as fact in the "Afrocentric" view of history, the UNC Department of African and Afro-American History is a 100 percent fraudulent entity with two purposes: award degrees to Black students who otherwise wouldn't qualify academically for real-majors and never, ever would have the opportunity to become a tenured professor of Afro-American History at another university or college; and two, keep Black athletes eligible to play for UNC football and basketball teams. Just ask the academic titan that is Julius Peppers:
On the football field, Julius Peppers was one of the most dominating players to ever wear a UNC uniform, an athlete dubbed a “freak of nature” so skilled that he helped take the university’s men’s basketball team to the Final Four in 2000.
But in the classroom, Peppers was a marginal student with a grade point average so low he was continually at risk of losing the opportunity to play, according to an academic transcript bearing his name. What kept bailing him out were several classes in the Department of African and Afro-American Studies, a relatively young academic unit led by department chair Julius Nyang’oro.
A transcript bearing Peppers’ name, found over the weekend in an odd portal on a UNC website, shows a subpar academic record: a 1.82 grade point average and 11 grades of D or F. It also suggests that the academic fraud already confirmed by the university in the African studies department goes much further back than it had previously been able to confirm. 
Peppers’ transcript, and a second one that practically mirrors it, show he received grades of B or better in seven classes within the department, offerings found in later years to be academically suspect. Without those grades, it’s unlikely Peppers would have kept his GPA high enough to play sports. UNC records show Nyang’oro taught or supervised at least three of those classes.

Translation: the UNC Afro-American History Department was an incubator for cooking the books on Black athletes grades.  No big deal though, right? Nothing to see at UNC. Move along now.

Out west in California, Stanford University has put together a string of successful seasons in spite of having high academic standards that keep the recruitment of the poster-children for the "No Child Left Behind" Act an impossible proposition:
Everything in college football starts with recruiting.
Stanford administrators have estimated that only 400 of the 3,500 high school prospects who sign letters of intent each year meet their admissions standards. A year into the job, Harbaugh doubted that number.
"We're probably looking at a pool of 100 to 150 scholar-athletes," he said at the time. "It's a small pool. Smaller than anybody else has."
Consider that Stanford consistently ranks near the top of the NCAA's Academic Progress Rates and nearly half of the upperclassmen on the current roster are enrolled in engineering majors.

Many people believe that the academy integrity of elite institutions is important; many more believe that enrolling the type of athletes at the University of North Carolina who require enrollment in Afro-American classes (classes that teach more fiction than a Greek Mythology course) just to maintain eligibility is much more important, so that the football and basketball teams can stay competitive.

Nearly thirty years the coordinator of the English section of Georgia's Developmental Studies Program at the University of Georgia (UGA), Jan Kemp, was demoted to the post of remedial English teacher for speaking out against preferential academic treatment accorded athletes at the university. Nearly all of the athletes she dealt with were Black males who only attended UGA because of the perceived advantage their presence on the gridiron gave to the Bulldog team.

Sports Illustrated (This Case Was One For The Books
Jan Kemp won $2.58 million in a suit that bared academic abuses involving the athletes at Georgia, by William Nack, February 24, 1986) published this important story after Kemp successfully sued the university:
The size of the award provoked cries of anguish among some state officials. "Good God!" blurted Georgia House Speaker Tom Murphy on hearing the news. Gov. Joe Frank Harris, shaken, said simply, "It's a little excessive, unbelievable really."
By the time the jury had reached its verdict, however, the only things patently excessive were a) the ineptness of the university's presentation of its case, and b) the cynical attitude of some of its leading administrators toward what Kemp termed the university's "exploitation" of its athletes, particularly the black ones, in its use of the remedial learning program to get them into school and keep them eligible for sports.

Cynical is a barely adequate word to describe the comments of Ervin, the head of the remedial learning program and an assistant university vice-president. In the course of the trial, a transcript of a secretly taped meeting of school officials was introduced, revealing that Ervin, who is black, had made the following statement—out of "frustration," he says—regarding the poor educational backgrounds of some of the black athletes in the remedial program:
"Now, you talk about [how] these kids are not taught in high school. They aren't. We try to teach them here, but there is no way to do it. The majority of these kids are black that are coming in, and it kind of rips in at me at the insides, and I take it very, very personal. I know for a fact that these kids would not be here if it were not for their utility to the institution. There is no real sound academic reason for their being here other than to be utilized to produce income. They are used as a kind of raw material in the production of some goods to be sold...and they get nothing in return...."

Kemp, who has two children and whose husband Bill is a high school teacher, was hired by Georgia as the coordinator of the English section of the Developmental Studies Program in September 1978. The program is a well-intentioned outgrowth of affirmative action policies designed to make a university education available to students from disadvantaged backgrounds.
Athletes comprise 17% of the program's current enrollment of about 335 students. The courses, designed to teach basic skills such as reading and writing to sometimes functionally illiterate students, do not count for credits toward a degree. Students ordinarily have four chances to pass each remedial course. If they achieve a C or better and pass a basic skills test, they are allowed to enroll in regular university courses. If they fail after four attempts, they are supposed to be dismissed from the university...

The conflict came to a head in December 1981 when Trotter, a former assistant secretary for education in the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare, allowed nine football players to "exit" from the remedial learning program to the university curriculum, despite the fact that they had all failed their fourth and final quarter in English. The players went on to play in the 1982 Sugar Bowl, but in a position paper the athletic department said there was no wrongdoing. Trotter, a former home economics professor, admitted in court that athletes received preferential treatment at the university, but defended her action on promoting the nine students. "I felt they deserved an opportunity because of the work they had done," Trotter testified. "I felt they had made great progress."

[Then UGA head football coach Vince] Dooley, once the chairman of the American Football Coaches Association's Ethics Committee, admitted during the trial that, "Because of the similar approaches by other institutions, we were placed in a position of offering scholarship aid to student-athletes who were very, very poorly academically prepared. It became obvious that we had to take some numbers that were high risk." In other words everybody else was doing it so Georgia had to do it, too.

Georgia president Fred Davison similarly tried to justify the university's recruitment practices by saying, "We have to compete [with rival schools] on a level playing field." Referring to Georgia athletes, Davison also said: "If they leave us being able to read, write, communicate better, we simply have not done them any damage."

What do some other college sports officials think about the Georgia case? Gene Corrigan, the director of athletics at Notre Dame, said, "I just don't want to sound holier than thou. What I'm saying is that there might be 50 or 60 other schools that could make the same claim as Georgia." Doug Single, the AD at Northwestern, suggested that schools with high academic standards should schedule each other and not worry about playing schools with lower priorities.

Davison, who brought a number of coaches and educators together in 1982 to try to improve national academic standards for incoming athletes, also testified that Georgia supported tougher NCAA admissions policies that will begin to take effect in September, but that the school "would not unilaterally disarm.... One institution in our community can't drop out and survive." This from the president of a school that graduated only 16 of 66 black football players since the team integrated in 1971.
 16 of 66 Black football players (this story was published in 1986) had graduated at UGA since integration: that's 24 percent. But "Thank God  Earl Warren" right, or else UGA wouldn't have had the opportunity to win the 1980 National Championship behind the running of Hershel Walker (long rumored to be one of the players allowed to play, though he hadn't passed remedial classes). It should be noted that in 2000, 94 percent of the freshmen football players at UGA were "special admits" to the school (of that recruiting class, more than 90 percent were Black).

But it doesn't matter, does it? Most alumni of the big schools, especially in the Southeastern Conference (SEC), Big 12, Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC), and even the new Pac-12 (which Stanford belongs to) will gladly choose "heads" for Carolina, if it means victory on the football field or a trip to March Madness.

"Tails" for California (the methodology used by Stanford for recruiting athletes and maintaining high academic standards and integrity): a choice that few alumni of any major schools would choose.

I am SHOCKED! SHOCKED? SHOCKED :/. Or as Alfred E. Newman would say; 'What? Me Shocked?'.

Like the salesman who came to my door and while conversing he stated 'how we (whites?) stole the land from the indians'. I was SHOCKED. Could that be true? And I thought that people just grew up out the dirt. Oh how naive I have been.

And now I find out that there might be 'FRAUD' in the highly esteemed Afro-Am studies courses. Well, there is just no end to these surprises.

Next thing to happen will be stories about dog bites man. What a world, full of news. Talk about a beating a dead horse.

Maybe this wasn't just to keep completely unqualified (and primarily black, lol) aff-uh-leetz eligible but rather to pad the GPA of all students (nearly all black) enrolled in the nonexistent classes. Prof doesn't have to show up and the students get an easy "A." Win-win. It's not like they are paying for college anyway. The joke is once again on the taxpayers - state and federal.

Oh how wrong you are. A degree in Afro-Ebonic studies will garner a groid a very nice highly paid sinecure as a human-resources diversity specialist at numerous Fortune 500 corporations, not to mention the huge number of jobs available for the similarly qualified in the ranks of federal employees. In the right government position, the degreed specialist does not even have to show up.

We should be screaming out hosannahs of thanksgiving every single day to John Boehner, Eric Cantor and all those fearless Brave Sir Robin Republicans for making it all of these cost-cutting and government reduction programs possible.

I've said repeatedly make Div. I truly professional with no requirement to even enroll in the school. Div. II has very limited athletic scholarships and Div. III doesn't allow them at all so they can be left unchanged.
For Div I 'cap' football rosters at 60 players and basketball at 15 with all players getting a fixed salary regardless of school (say $25k/yr). Contracts max at 5 years and have a 12mo. non-compete clause (as is typical in other forms of entertainment) to discourage schools from 'poaching' players. Like what just happened to Penn State the non-compete can be waived for disciplined programs (and they can lose roster spots).
Players that get convicted of crimes (or flunk drug tests) can be sanctioned up to and including permanent suspension. Food vouchers and Medical for players is provided while playing and injured players cannot be dismissed (worker's comp rules). Players (even enrolled ones) cannot live 'on campus'.
Just like the NFL and NBA why should it matter if a player is illiterate? That's not why they exist. It's long past time for the fiction of 'student-athletes' to formally end for Div. I schools.

As far as making Division I football completely professional and paying the players, it won't work because of Title IX. In the old days, without women's sports it might have been possible.

Forty-five of the classes listed the department’s chairman, Julius Nyang’oro, as the professor. Investigators could not determine instructors for the remaining nine.

Is anyone willing to bet that these afleets aren't over-represented in the local community's crime statistics?

Don't you all speak up at once, now.

On the other hand, many of the suspect classes were held in the summer, a time when many football players are on campus.

Those who specialize in statistics call this a "cluster". Such statistical anomalies usually draw a lot of attention for some very sound reasons.

Translation: the UNC Afro-American History Department was an incubator for cooking the books on Black athletes grades.

Time to do a "Paterno" on UNC and wipe away all wins whenever any of these unlettered dumbasses were playing.

[emphasis added]

Got that? English. Not calculus, not physics, not electrical engineering. ENGLISH.

All of which means that these pavement apes probably couldn't even spell their own names much less gibber in anything but Ebonics.

Referring to Georgia athletes, Davison also said: "If they leave us being able to read, write, communicate better, we simply have not done them any damage."

What a flat-out LIE. Even these porch monkeys experience an opportunity cost if they've spent four years at a permissive university for the sole chance of "[leaving] us being able to read, write, communicate better".

Indeed, such uncaring and manipulative "instructors" cannot claim to "do no harm". They guide their unsuspecting (often Black) recruits into an educational box canyon which epitomizes the "soft racism" of lowered Liberal expectations.

As to Snodfart … er, I mean Stanford, that they have succumbed to such a total hypocrisy is a bellwether regarding the way that so many American universities have surrendered to BRA.

It's the same integration of AA, commercialized athletics, cheating, and criminal activity that are part and parcel of the post-civil rights era.

Despite all the shining agitprop over civil rights, this sort of tawdry "scandal" has become the norm, and not just in academia. We see the same throughout the government, media, business, and civil society. All one big fraud. Yet people live the lie ever more, glued to their television sets and cheering "their" team--whether it's football, schools which are farces, corporations which are exporting jobs, or a government which is increasingly hostile to themselves and their children.

You wonder how much longer the delusion can last...

Making football and basketball professional would reduce the women's programs, yes, because by turning 75 of the players ''staff'' it would cut the need to run/fund a lot of 'junk' sports just to equalize the number of athletic scholarships.
They could still do athletic scholarships in mens sports such as baseball, wrestling, track, ect.
Or not, but the M/F ratio would still be 1:1. If necessary, the non-teaching employment (foodservice, bookstores, custodial, clerical, ect.) would have to reserve 75 positions for female employees, quite doable in a typical Div. I school.

Hell, out here in the People's Republic of the Bay Area, they even do the functional equivalent of this at the high school level. The father of one of my son's friends was a private investigator hired by one member of the local school board (who apparently was at war with another member). All he did was check the residence addresses of some of the football and basketball players.

He'd go to the address listed on the punk's school records. Sometimes, they were vacant lots. Sometimes, the people living there had never heard of the "student." And at least one apartment manager was suspected of taking payoffs to falsify that these Oakland denizens were "living" there. Nothing like looking in an uncovered window and seeing no furniture.

The biggest tipoff, however, was the army of ghetto trash coming from the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) station in town. If the little puke lives in town, why does he need a BART ticket to get to school?

And all in the name of having a winning high school football team.

The scam blew up in their faces a year after my son graduated, but of course nobody went to jail for it.

Van: I have a reply for Zenster and Silent Running on the "Living in America" thread.

Since it has fallen off of the home page's main thread listing, here is a link to Van's comment

My only major point of contention is with your assertion that "Simply put, Romney wants what's best for America while Obama wants to use such a scenario to destroy us."

Absolutely, yes, 0bama wants exactly such a crisis to impose martial law. It is rapidly appearing that this is the only way he can avoid being thrust from office with America's collective boot up his worthless @ss.

That said, I really cannot make myself believe that "Romney wants what's best for America". He is too deeply embedded in the elite financial and political oligarchy that is hell bent on enslaving Americans through mountainous debt.

Romney's sole use is to Flush the Toilet™. Should Romney manage to get himself elected, I fully expect that it will be necessary to flush him out as well. The only difference will be in the degree of urgency and not much else.

… if you've given up on peaceful solutions [i.e., the ballot box], you guarantee that the fight comes to you. And you might lose. Forever. If it comes to it, I'll defend myself, my family, my beliefs, my people; and the US Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic.

From the UNC website:

"The skills and perspectives of African and Afro-American Studies provide an excellent background for students considering careers in international development, education, business, government, or diplomacy. Students concentrating in African and Afro-American Studies go on to a wide variety of managerial, teaching, and research positions. Other careers for which an African or Afro-American Studies concentration is excellent preparation include law, the foreign service, various positions in government, communications, social work, community development, and public administration."

Very different crimes can have the exact same penalty. Nobody's trying to equate child rape and academic fraud except, maybe, you.

In some ways academic fraud is a form of child rape in that these stupid, immature hulks have years taken from their lives, that just as often including serious injuries, only to eventually be spat out by the collegiate sports machine after they no longer serve any purpose.

Davison's condescending attitude is revealed when he says: "If they leave us being able to read, write, communicate better, we simply have not done them any damage."

What a load of eyewash. A predisposition to Alzheimer's disease, dementia and cognitive degeneration. Elevated sensitivity to subsequent concussions, recurring tendonitis, broken bones and other lasting or permanent injuries can hardly categorized as not having "done them any damage."

It may not be sexual rape but it is a form of physical abuse that can hardly be excused by having marginally improved a player's language skills.

I have little sympathy or pity for Black thug afleets but I still hold in deep contempt these smarmy, condescending, supposedly Liberal coaches and program directors who continue this pattern of academic fraud and player abuse. They are the ones who perpetuate the "win at any cost" mentality which currently permeates society at all levels from the playing field to Wall Street.

If strict scholarship rules were enforced and unqualified athletes kept out of the programs, the games would be just as big and the fanbase even greater.

Most will identify with their tribe (white) and support their school.

Stadiums were being filled long before the black athlete came along. If you check the website caste football.us, they make a good case that white athletes are now discriminated against. I believe this is so as I felt I was discriminated against in sports when I was coming up even though I could catch the ball and the black athletes sometimes couldn't even run the correct route. But they were faster so they started... and dropped the ball.

The problem is BRA. We must AA the blacks so that they permeate every sector of society.

I feel the real plot here that everyone is missing is that introducing blacks into groups breaks them up or neuters them. It is called social capital and the social capital of the USA is being depleted as rapidly as our monetary capital.

Each year my USMC unit has a reunion and a good time is had by all. But we were a combat unit with few blacks and so we can speak and act freely w/o watching what we say or do. That is great social capital, but I know of no integrated groups like this.

This whole story is sad for a variety of reasons. We've come to this point because "higher education" is no longer about education and building a better society; it's about making money. Because so many colleges and universities are run like businesses, they need to attract investment capital (from alumni, among other sources) and the best way to advertise is through sports programs.

I wouldn't be surprised if such competence were a "recommended" skill today, that just happens in practice to be required for non-Blacks.

Old Vet: I feel the real plot here that everyone is missing is that introducing blacks into groups breaks them up or neuters them. It is called social capital and the social capital of the USA is being depleted as rapidly as our monetary capital.

There are many of us here who are well aware of this process, better known as "atomization". I covered this breakup strategy in Part II of my essay, published here at SBPDL, "The Dis-Integration of America":

Dis-Integration Arrives

If Jared Taylor’s observation is true; namely, that “the statistics for residential segregation in the United States are almost identical to what they were fifty or sixty years ago”, then what ultimate effect does this new form of forced integration have upon communities? It is already apparent that neighborhoods with a higher degree of racial “diversity” inherently will experience more divergent political and personal interests which can just as readily compromise any existing sense of social cohesion. Divergence of this sort is an automatic predictor of potential conflict.

One immediate outcome is an “atomization” of personal relationships. A community’s fabric loses its tightness of weave and thereby, its strength. This frequently promotes the sort of anonymity more commonly associated with urban environments. Such "facelessness" is a vital ingredient for criminal activity that is more often suppressed in tightly knit communities where an individual’s reputation has a greater effect upon their social and financial standing.

This fracturing of social unity more strongly affects Whites than it does other minorities specifically because they are minorities and already experience differing goals from both other ethnic groups and Whites as well. The inherent fragmentation of minority interests is merely a fait accompli while it is an absolute poison for White society. On an increasing basis any protest regarding this purposeful dismantling of White solidarity is hysterically shouted down with screeches of “racism”.

This slur is only given even more effectiveness by the cottage industry that has sprung up around racial “discrimination”. Hypocritical race baiters like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson have made lucrative careers out of inflating White Man’s Burden. With typical Black shortsightedness, little did they begin to suspect how their shameless race-mongering would set the stage for a mass rejection by Whites of this fossilized encumbrance from America’s slave era.

You channeled Jo Dee Messina with the headline, Paul.

Social capital is exactly what I noticed at my 30th high school reunion. We had five blacks out of 435 and not one showed up. We were all on the same page about so much and I realized that if there were a lot of blacks, orientals or steezers we would be talking very differently. I also noticed that of the five or so percent of the class that was Jewish, those that showed, which was most, sort of huddled in one area. They mostly talked amongst themselves.

Methinks that was deliberate.

Jay in DC asks:
Again, what a fucking upside down world is this now? You can be overtly racist to one group and no one bats an eye. Wasn't the Civil Rights Movement to erase ALL racism?

The simple answer to your last question is no. The Civil Rights Movement was never about ending or even reducing racial bigotry. It was about unleashing racial animus against whites and abolishing important civil rights for the white majority. No white business. property owner or person has been able to exercise genuine freedom of association since the passage of the act in 1965. As the article points out, blacks and others designated as "protected" by contrast have completely unlimited freedom of association. The examples which could be cited are literally endless. Your error is in making an assumption of good faith on the part of Marxists. Simply put, there is no such thing. Bad faith is the rule.

Long time reader but first time poster. I also live in Chapel Hill. This has been going on for quite some time, and has made my love for sports diminish rapidly.

This is the most liberal town in NC, and basically has the motto Celebrate Diversity. The liberals (almost all from outta state/north) here have ruined this town, as once safe downtown is flooded by homeless and thugs from Durham (where Eve Carson's killers were from).

Surprised to see a unc student post here, thats awesome. Maybe ill see you at country night....

Paul, great website keep up the good work. And to all the other posters, thanks for yalls insights and commentary. Best to all!

Won't anyone think of JoPa's legacy? said...

Sandusky retired after the Alamo Bowl 1999 and Penn State did nothing about the allegations against him.

2007 They played Texas A&M again and allowed Sandusky access to their campus despite being aware of misgivings about him.

Nobody cared about this but people were concerned about a non crime at Duke University which saw their season cancelled. If a season can be cancelled for a non crime shouldn't covering up a crime require a serious sanction?

Penn State educatees riot because a statue of Paterno was to be removed.

No one noticed that the false accuser in the Duke University scandal finally got around to murdering her boyfriend after previous attempts on his life and on her children failed.

Our media are idiots.

You're both actually wrong about this. The Ministry of Truth are worse than either idiots or useful idiots. They are active treasonous and genocidal agents. When the time is ripe, all of them need to be treated accordingly. No excuse, no quarter, no mercy.

Baltimore watcher here. Same thing essentially and it also seems the worse things get the deeper the heads go into the sand. People are waddling, men with giant bologna tits and fungus strings growing in their mouths from
The poor diets. Ugh. All they can find is coonball and tv/movies to talk about. Lazy lazy shits! From work to public and social circles. All foot ball.

2011 – Penn State Sexual Abuse Scandal

With the biggest staff of sports journalists in the world, ESPN should have been leading the charge to ask tough questions and shed light on the allegations against Jerry Sandusky. It didn't. When students rioted, ESPN wasn't on the scene to cover it. Its early coverage of the scandal was minimal and its focus was more on the impact on Penn State's football recruiting and Joe Paterno's legacy than on the alleged crimes. Where was the in-depth reporting to show us all sides of the story? Where were the questions to hold the powerful accountable?
