Football is a little different, you at least get to keep those kids a couple of years

Except now the transfer portal is a thing, so that isn't always true.

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.
