A football whorehouse is a football whorehouse, and you can get all Southern about it and hem and haw about tradition and shit but whether you’re Chapel Hill or Penn State you’re a whorehouse.
The particular stink from Penn State having become over-familiar from 24/7 coverage, the country’s moving on to Chapel Hill for a fresher stench.
America is on one long summer college athletics tour this year. After Chapel Hill, it’s going to be the University of Michigan.
“Generally, (faculty) call for an external review of athletic advising, independent of the Athletic Department, as well as more forthright statements from the administration about the compromises made to host Division I athletics at UNC,” the report said.
That’s a wee UNC faculty committee commenting on an entire academic department run by and for athletics. The external review will be a stunner (look what Louis Freeh did) in which, to the astonishment of the university’s president and trustees, it will turn out that massive academic fraud at the school was organized not by one or two well-meaning misguided people, but a whole whorehouse of characters, but that of course we shouldn’t hold the trustees or the president responsible.
