UNC academic fraud case referenced by Notre Dame president | News & Observer

Notre Dame’s president isn’t happy with the NCAA and referenced the UNC academic fraud case in criticizing a decision to deny the school’s appeal to restore 21 vacated football victories.

Notre Dame president Fr. John Jenkins, in a letter to alumni, said the ruling was unfair compared to the North Carolina case. The NCAA did not punish UNC after investigations of athletes taking no-show or low-work courses.

Jenkins did not name UNC directly.
