‘These are but wild and swirling innuendoes, my lord’…

… as Horatio has the gall to tell Hamlet when Hamlet alludes to the massive, two-decade academic scandal at the University of North Carolina.

*******************

Hamlet’s sports-loving buddy dismisses all that’s been happening at UNC as a bunch of rumors. It’s as unreal as all that stuff they’re whispering about Penn State…

*******************

Or, as Nietzsche famously said, “We have sports in order not to perish of the truth.”

    Recurrent scandal for much longer, actually; UNC had a huge brouhaha 40 years ago around football star Amos Lawrence.

    I am proud to say (not being snarky here) that a while back, the empress of jock-sniffers here was contacted by a new coach who had been told that she was Team Mom and Fan #1. He asked for a list of the easiest faculty and the go-to gut courses for dumbasses. She told him to go to hell and went straight to then-President Backslapper. Of course, he did not do anything, but Prof. Team Mom quit as the faculty athletic rep after this. Sometimes people do the right thing.
