I just re-read that paper and I'm in tears. I can truly say I'm a better man after experiencing that beautiful masterpiece.

I'm imagining a 7 foot tall 20 year old hunched over his desk racking his brain for the perfect words to describe the trials and tribulations of rosa parks with balls of crumbled up papers behind him with paragraphs he felt didn't fully express what she went through on that fateful evening of December. Then suddenly lightning strikes and his fingers can't type as fast as the words enter his head. And voila! Rosa Parks: My Story

If this is indicative of the state of sports management classes, then when they eliminate college sports in response to yesterday's NLRB ruling, they should also eliminate all the sports management departments.

When this literary classic is inevitably adapted to the big screen, who do you think should direct it?

a) Quentin Tarantino
b) Martin Scorsese
c) Christopher Nolan
d) Wes Anderson
e) Michael Bay
f) Tim Burton
g) Wes Craven
h) M. Night Shyamalan

Still better writing than half the people on 2+2 or everyone on Yahoo Answers.

Tim Burton with Helena Bonham Carter as Rosa Parks and Johnny Depp as the man she loved seems like a lock

Dean Norris seems like the perfect guy to play clueless-yet-by-the-book cop.

Wait this isn't the same paper that was also plagiarized from an 11 year old was it?

Either the whole thing is a hoax, or the player couldn't even write a paper that short by themselves. The whole thing is plagiarized.

Scroll down to the first page of chapter one.

Hell, a few years ago it was revealed the UNC was forging grades for its football players. The NCAA did nothing, because amateurism and student-athlete integrity only matter when punishing individual players who get uppity or small schools that don't bring in loads of athletic revenue.

That was from 2012. They already got hit with a bowl ban during Butch Davis' tenure for this very thing.

Like half of NC's defense got suspended and it cost people jobs. (but at roughly the same time there was also some agent contact stuff that got them in trouble and John Blake super fired and I'm too lazy to figure out which penalties were for what).

I guess it also cost them their head coach, though some might actually consider that a consolation prize.

My hand has been forced- first google result

Quote:

he NCAA has placed North Carolina's football program on three years' probation and banned it from the 2012 postseason, the governing body announced Monday.

The school already had imposed several penalties, including vacating all 16 wins for 2008 and 2009, reducing nine scholarships over the next three academic years and putting the program on two years of probation.

But the NCAA didn't stop at UNC's self-imposed penalties, finding that the school was responsible for violations including academic fraud, impermissible agent benefits, participation by ineligible players and a failure to monitor the football program.

Everybody is right all at the same time, let's go bowling and drink beers.

My "don't think I need to google more" recollection is that the suspensions were all over the agent stuff though.
