Many at the university hoped Wainstein's investigation would bring some closure to the long-running scandal, which is rooted in an NCAA investigation focused on improper benefits within the football program in 2010. [...] findings of a systemic problem in the former African and Afro-American Studies department could lead to NCAA sanctions and possible dismissal of additional UNC staff. The NCAA hit the football program in 2012 with scholarship reductions and a postseason ban, though the academic violations focused mainly on a tutor providing improper help to players on papers. The report outlined how the fraud ran unchecked for so long, as well as how faculty and administration officials missed or looked past red flags such as unusually high numbers of independent study course enrollments. Wainstein's staff reviewed records dating to the 1980s and interviewed 126 people, including men's basketball coach Roy Williams, who said he trusted the school "to put on legitimate classes," according to the report.

    The Daily Dot, Thursday - 05/16/2024 - 12:16 PM

    On Fox and Friends earlier this morning, the trifecta of Trump propagandists discussed the upcoming presidential debates and the fate of poor, defenseless RFK Junior. The rabid vaccine denier and brainworm victim isn't eligible to be on the debate stage, but Fox News is still trying to use him against Biden. Enter Lawrence Jones. "Well, it looks like the person that's mostly blocking it is Joe Biden," he said.

    The Daily Dot, Thursday - 05/16/2024 - 11:45 AM

    It's pretty safe to say that Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker's commencement address at Benedictine College has not gone over well. (The clip above is from a BBC satirical news program called The Mash Report, originally broadcast in 2018.) Source: Fox News Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker went after President Biden over his stance on abortion as a Catholic in his commencement speech at a private Kansas college over the weekend. But it was what he said to the women in the audience at Benedictine College that garnered a lot of backlash on social media in the days since his address.

  • That Was Fast: Lara Trump Already Calling The Debates 'Rigged'
    The Daily Dot, Thursday - 05/16/2024 - 11:02 AM

    In a post just yesterday, I asked what the odds are that Lumpy will withdraw from the debates. And last night, Lara Trump spoke on Fox News to call the debates "rigged." And no one is surprised that she's giving Trump a way out. Donald does this, too. He called the elections rigged before they took place and said he'll only accept the results if it's "honest." We've heard all this before.
