NCAA Lets North Carolina Off Scot-Free for Fake Courses, Promptly Gets Obliterated by Twitter

After a three-year investigation, the NCAA ruled there was “nothing to see here” with the North Carolina athletic department and zero sanctions for the school because the fake Afro-American studies courses taken by student-athletes were also available to the general student body.

Twitter reacted appropriately, absolutely crushing college sports’ governing body:

NCAA justice …

Taking money from an agent = bad
Taking money from boosters = bad
Steering kids to sham classes = not our problem.

Historic ruling for NCAA. The criticism is completely valid. And people who love to lampoon the NCAA have never been given a sharper knife.
