UNC scandal isn’t about athletics — it’s about empty degrees

UNC scandal isn’t about athletics — it’s about empty degrees | New York Post:
"A lawsuit filed earlier this week by former University of North Carolina football player Michael McAdoo claims that UNC “systematically funneled its football student-athletes into a ‘shadow curriculum’ of bogus courses which never met and which were designed for the sole purpose of providing enrollees high grades.”
Indeed, a recently released 130-page independent investigation of the school reports that more than 3,100 students (both athletes and non-athletes) were taking “paper” courses in the formerly named African and Afro-American Studies department for 18 years ending in 2011. 
The courses didn’t meet and didn’t have any requirements."
