When the NCAA dropped their Notice of Allegations on North Carolina stemming from the association’s investigation into an academic scandal that spanned two decades, the universal reaction was that the men’s basketball program — and Roy Williams — had dodged a bullet.
Nowhere in the Notice of Allegations was Williams or any of his assistants specifically mentioned outside of a note to say that they had been interviewed. The academic advisor for the women’s basketball team, a former head of the African and Afro-American Studies Department and his former student services manager were specifically targeted in the five Level I violations.
