As far as I'm concerned athletics has no place in college beyond the intramural
level. The idea of college sports as quasi professional is completely at odds
with the real job of college which is education. As long as there is money to
be made in college sports there will be abuse of the system. At best its a
distraction and worst it turns college into a total sham and makes a degree
worthless.

Subject: [MBZ] OT - UNC-CH integrity & ethics
Re. the unsavory crap (sham, "paper," classes) going on for nearly 20 years at
UNC-CH to accommodate athletes, an article in today's Raleigh "News and
Observer," discusses two "working groups" (committee's) "looking at UNC
integrity and policies." Co-chair said that they "first want to define
integrity." To save 'em possibly several weeks of haggling, I'm volunteering
my definition of it learned on Momma and Daddy's laps and at their knees nearly
80 years ago - put simply, integrity is the ability to do what is right when
nobody else is watching.
