It is terrifyingly funny to see the wagons circle around the big schools. Well, sad too.
They're engaging in some incredibly fallacious reasoning to make UNC's situation not sound worse.
What I've seen is some really tenuous arguments that UNC wasn't providing an "extra benefit" since their fake classes were also available to regular students. The problem with that argument is that the violation isn't "extra benefits" - it's academic fraud.
Academic fraud doesn't fall under the category of extra benefits in the NCAA rules. It falls under the rules about unethical conduct. In other words, it really doesn't matter that UNC's fake classes were available to regular students as well - it's still unethical to create do-nothing classes and hand out grades for work that wasn't done... and UNC did that to the tune of 3,100 total cases where over 1,000 of the cases involved student-athletes, according to one article I've read on their situation.
This
and many compliance courses at Bell Helicopter tell me so
and it was a Bell 407 with the 4 meaning 4 blades on the rotor getting Chad around the
recruiting area
That's a Bell Jet Ranger 209 in the graphic I see with 2 blades.
