I don't doubt it. UNC was a lot more careful than the Caliparis of the world but those kids were definitely getting kickbacks from boosters, favors around town, etc.

Yeah, Carolina steered clear of the guys who were just blatantly trying to go to the highest bidder in their forced pit stop along the way to the NBA once the NBA no longer allowed kids to jump straight from HS.

I can tell you that while UNC wasn't as obviously dirty as UK, they were definitely one of the dirtiest in the ACC. Easily top 5.

You didn't exist at that level of college basketball without being dirty. It's just the way it was.

That's why I could never jump on that bandwagon when it came to impermissible benefits. It was too easy to see how common it was.

NIL sure didn’t pan out for UNC this year. The team looks like it forgot how to play basketball. 

Terrible take.

 

UNC didn't look good last year either. They got hot in the tourney and got to the Nat'l championship.

 

College basketball is all about who plays the best towards the end of the season and March Madness.

Yeah, UNC was not worthy of a bid last year, IMO. Especially with the ACC looking so insanely weak in the regular season. 

Then the tourney comes and all the ACC teams go on a tear.

Poor state fans.

Every time I almost feel sorry for them I'm reminded of what colossal jackasses they are unworthy of the slightest sympathy.

That's cool and all but at the end of the day Raleigh>Charlotte.
 

Raleigh is the best city in North Carolina.

I’ve got 2 degrees from state.   And you?

 

also how is Tami Hansborough, joe forte, Harrison Barnes etc exactly staying away from the highest bidder?  To think unc is somehow above the corruption of college sports is fuging hilarious

Get over the inferiority complex. It's always y'all who try to start the pissing match. No one was taking shots at state in this thread. Because state is irrelevant and no one cares. Deal with it.

      Where would the Panthers be if they sat Bryce Young last season?

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      I saw an interesting point the other day about our type of situation.  It could have been wise to hold him off for 1-2 weeks, but that would not have anything to do with Bryce and you could easily communicate that from a PR standpoint.   Why? Well, we just brought an entirely new staff into town, new offense for the returning OL, and had wholesale turnover elsewhere.  So just run Dalton out there the first game or so to see how things are shaking out.  Dry run to make sure we won't kill the kid.  We weren't eyeing the SB.  Get a sense of the line, the receivers, the playbook.  It gives you a glimpse of what Bryce would be stepping into and a good barometer on where things stood sans him.  I suppose we sort of did that with Dalton, but that was a reactive switch and like @Ricky Spanish mentioned, it was against an injured SEA defense where we threw a ridiculous amount.  Who knows, maybe we could have at least won a game or two more that way.  You can adjustments prior to Bryce stepping in, better tee it up for him, and maybe we end up winning game 1 or 2. Last year was such a sh*tshow.  One of the worst seasons I've ever experienced in any sport for any team.  Absolutely nothing made sense together.  Happy we cut the cord early, but should have never hired that crew in the first place.

      Off season talk.

      Johnson is gonna want $20M+ next year. That's why they should have drafted Ladd.

      It's like folk didn't even watch the game. Dalton took a beating, and barely avoided a lot more violent hits. No 35 years old QB is going to survive a season like that. Imagine him against Dallas or Houston or Indy or Detroit or New Orleans twice! He played better than Bryce in that 1 game, but he wouldn't have lasted half the season.
