Paul Keadle III: UNC had unfair advantage
Regarding the Aug. 3 news article “UNC lawyers question core of NCAA’s case”: The UNC-CH response to NCAA allegations stated that “Issues related to UNC-Chapel Hill’s academic irregularities are the proper subject of review by SACSCOC, its accrediting agency – not the NCAA, its athletic association.”
When academic irregularities occur, competition on the field is not fair and the participants are athletes rather than student-athletes. Maintaining a level playing field and the integrity of student athletics is the primary function of the NCAA.
