Pat McCrory Lashes Out Against 'Educational Elite' And Liberal Arts College Courses

108. The post above is correct

The African American Studies program is under scrutiny for apparently having non-existent classes attended primarily by student athletes in its football and basketball program. Apparently, this has been going on since 1997.

A poster on a NC State board - Pack Pride - actually got a hold of a prominent athlete's transcript that showed this guy was nearly risking academic suspension but was 'saved' fortunately by rather high grades in classes that are now suspect.

That athlete - Julius Peppers - now plays in the NFL and was also a basketball standout.

These issues of 'fake' classes and fake grades are also compounded by the rather unusual hiring of a certain Tami Hansbrough - mother of UNC standout Tyler Hansbrough and Notre Dame player Ben Hansbrough - as a fundraiser for the dental school, a position for which she had little experience and was being paid at a higher salary than others in comparable posts. Apparently, she was taking trips to attend games, etc. on the state's (school's) dime and cavorting with her paramour, the chief fundraiser.

The NCAA, as usual, is being shown as rather incompetent in this matter. Other schools would have gotten in a lot of trouble for these issues.
