NCAA finds North Carolina not guilty of academic fraud

Published Friday, Aug 31, 2012 at 12:17 pm EDT Last updated 36 minutes and 20 seconds ago

The NCAA has concluded that North Carolina did not commit any NCAA violations related to student-athletes? participation in the African and Afro-American Studies program that included made-up classes and grades.

On Aug. 23, UNC provided an update to the NCAA enforcement staff following a review of the program. The NCAA informed UNC that no NCAA rules appeared to have been broken in this case of academic fraud, UNC announced. However, three other NCAA probes are ongoing.

The classes were available to the general student body, including football and basketball players. However, an internal investigation found countless athletes enrolled in dozens of bogus courses that had little or no instruction. The classes include independent study courses and no-show classes.

The former chairman of the department, Julius Nyang?oro, was forced to retire. Later, UNC inadvertently posted the transcript of former two-sport athlete Julius Peppers online. It was littered with failing grades?and highlighted by better scores in classes that fell under that same area of African and Afro-American study.

UNC first notified the NCAA in August of 2011 that there were potential academic issues in that major. The NCAA launched an investigation and according to a UNC press release, visiting the North Carolina campus several times in the fall of 2011.

?Based on the joint review, UNC and the NCAA staff concluded there were no violations of current NCAA rules or student-athlete eligibility issues related to courses in African and Afro-American Studies. As a result, the NCAA did not add any allegations or include this issue during the University?s appearance in October 2011 before the Committee of Infractions.?
