I'd love to see a social media campaign (with whatever marker there is for MBB FF) demanding to see the North Carolina response to the allegations that was due on March 13, 2017.
I actually don't think the NCAA is wrong by letting NC play, because the process hasn't finished, and NC hasn't yet been found guilty of the alleged violations, and no current students are in the set of students for which violations are alleged. But, I would hope that NC gets hit very hard if allegations are shown to be true and as serious and long-standing as they seem to be. Something like 5 years of neither football nor basketball and other offending sports, starting in 3 years, to give student-athletes time to graduate, but making NC an athletics desert for 5 years, forcing coaches to find other institutions, etc. (How do you account for 18 years of alleged violations? You can't go back and give those students a real college education. Negating all their wins during those years would be laughed at and never noticed after the first week.)
