Yeah, I don't consider people credible until they agree with me either.
So by changing her story, she became more credible and intelligent? Maybe she was trying to qualify for a UNC football scholarship.
But besides, why the brain-dead approach? Obviously it would be in her best interest to win the case. Why would she say she was never raped even if she really was?
You don't mean 'credulous', by any chance, do you?Yeah, I don't consider people credible until they agree with me either.
I concede that the accuser was to credibility what Coldplay was to original composition.
Once sports becomes a potential moneymaker, you can forget, for the most part, that they will care about whether those atheletes will be educated.
I went to a highly regarded public university. At the time, everything was Division III. Atheletes had some advantages for admission, like any other special interest (art, music, whatever). They had no problems drawing more than enough qualified (and unqualified) applicants.
About a decade ago, they decided to make basketball Division I. Almost as soon as that happened, you started hearing about the players not going to class, and professors being pressured to keep them eligible.
Unfortuntately, money talks.
To be fair, football isn't the sport UNC is known for.At UNC, a good portion of their football team doesn't even play at the 4th grade level.
To be fair, UNC has been spending millions each year to try to compete at the very highest levels. They have apparently been more than willing to intentionally break the rules trying to be even more successful.To be fair, football isn't the sport UNC is known for.
Some schools pander to their athletes so much, they'll even condone and cover up murder, such as when Craig James killed five hookers while at SMU.I'd say that 100% depends on the school. The biggest incentives to flagrantly "cheat" aren't as strong at the D3 level, but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen. I don't think there is a reason to think it happens as often as it might at say, Auburn.
2012 Run for U.S. Senate
On December 19, 2011, James announced he would run for the United States Senate as a Republican in 2012 for the seat being vacated by Kay Bailey Hutchison. Public Policy Polling found during the race that "as Craig James has become better known he's just gotten more and more unpopular." His campaign was notable for the Google bomb that afflicted it, in which it was falsely claimed that "Craig James Killed Five Hookers" during his time at SMU. On May 29, 2012, he finished a distant fourth out of nine candidates in the Republican primary with about 4% of the vote.
