This is pretty much worse than what anyone has ever done before.
(1) they were paying players, providing them cars, paying for their parking tickets, getting them out of trouble with the cops, etc.
(2) they created fake classes, a bogus major, have graduated "honor roll" students who were illiterate, etc.
(3) they had a professional agent/runner on the athletic staff, NFL alums were flying the players to other states and throwing lavish parties and buying jewelry for them
(4) the original NCAA investigator on the case got busted for being a HUGE UNC-CHeat fan- his facebook profile page was him decked out in UNC-CHeat gear posing with the mascot at a Tar Heel game
(5) they covered the whole thing up and have not cooperated in the slightest (the cooperation they tout was hiring a lapdog to do the investigation, pinning the whole thing on "a" rogue professor and "a couple" of rogue athletes)
These guys should get slapped into next century. What's worse is having to listen to the school and the fans tout all of their national success, etc., despite the fact that they probably have almost none of it in the past couple of decades without the cheating.
