as a coach, good guys get you fired
We have 49ers and Panthers running afoul of the law, and we have Charlotte football and men's basketball with people fleeing the programs. Tough times.
It is amazing how many people in this world waste an opportunity for something stupid.
It certainly didn't take long for the UNC Charlotte Football program to have integrity and character problems, did it? And this was such a good thing... Why?
it doesn't matter they have no fans anyway
You're seriously questioning the benefits of football for this university because 3 kids felt they were bigger than the team? How pissed off at the world are you right now? Get a life dude, the university has a higher academic and community profile than ever before.
Unlike a certain school in Orange County, Charlotte is holding players accountable.

UNC Tarheels busted for athletic academic fraud was the worst in US history and well documented and diligently being cleaned up.
The punishment is crippling. UNC will recruit sign and play ONLY white athletes for football and basketball.
How much more severe can you
get?
short term setback but you have to protect the program if you want long term success.
Irony- the observer blogs some goofy award nominee for the AD, same day the mens basketball team slapped with ncaa penalty. Makes perfect sense.
You mean UNCC? This is not the AD but the UNCC administration when it comes to academics.
Wow what a shame...good thing they got kicked off the team..Caldwell and barnwell were going to be cornerstones for this team....next man up better do it right
