Here is a quick look at UNC stories and other items of interest.
UNC Academic Scandal/NCAA Investigation
-If you really wanted to pinpoint a moment where the N&O dropped all pretenses and simply started making up who narratives out of thin air, today might be it. I know, the pretenses were probably dropped a long time ago but there is a stark difference between spinning known facts to fit a narrative and actually making one up out of nothing.
That is the case with the "war on women's basketball" narrative which Doc covered here. Last night the N&O editorial board pushed all the chips to the middle of the table and accused UNC of "sexism" because Sylvia Hatchell wasn't given a contract extension at the same time as Roy Williams. To be clear, N&O published an editorial saying Hatchell was being sacrificed, folllowed it up with a news piece fleshing that out then stake an editorial position that UNC is acting in a sexist manner.
At this point, even The Onion has to be impressed.
Football
