Football scandal in Atlanta

The performance of the scandal football team in Atlanta last Saturday — given circumstances — was impressive. To come into sight however on this performance was the specter of 13 excluded players by travelling with the scandal football team and the resignation of the coach of linked scandal football of head.

Revelation that so many players wouldn't make the bus in Atlanta was amazing — the obviousness of the measure of misconduct among the members of the scandal football team. If it didn't cast down enough, the perspective of departure in Atlanta with almost the whole defense of departure indeed missing was.

The continuance inquiry in the scandal football program UNC left while keeping us all its breath. Few details are sure. Scandal game had to guess following development. And for those who expected biggest certainty or resolution over the years, there was big disappointment.


However we noted before that honesty and cooperation by the players of the scandal football team and the coaches of the scandal football team were supreme progress. The fact that UNC was willing to keep many scandal football players suggests that good priorities are in order.

We also hope that the resignation of scandal football coach of head linked John Blake follows this vein. While official statements are timid, we assume that its presence on the team was in fact an "entertainment" and that its actions had an impact negatively on the program as regards the ongoing inquiry.

But it is disturbing that Blake was linked to Gary Whichard, the agent for Kentwan Balmer, whose relations with Marvin Austin is in the middle of the inquiry NCAA. While the university has air to adopt a hard line with the attaching in the inquiry, it hurts to see it it high above the ladder.

It becomes verbose — and nobody wants to say it — but situation becomes more menacing. As the integrity of our athletic program — and the reputation of our university — blows continue suffering, we are proud at least of firm efforts last Saturday of the student scandal athletes who are always worthy of carrying our colors.
