With the bad press and the terrible football season for UNC
there is a bright side to the greatness of the UNC legacy. There are still lots
of teams willing to challenge the UNC football team to exhibition games. These
teams feel that they are as good if not greater than one of the best teams in
college football.
We could have one of the greatest games ever played in North
Carolina once the Consolidated Football Federation has announced the winning
team of this year’s Pee Wee Football Championship game. This will give the UNC
football program better odds at losing a game by single digits instead of the
usual 20+ differences.
Even though a player for UNC may be arrested for driving
without a license, having illegal drugs and a gun while in a felon’s car, that
doesn't mean that they're all bad roll models. Yes a few players have broken
multiple UNC and NCAA rules and regulations as well as multiple North Carolina
state laws. But they still have a right to an education; even though some
former students still can't read or write. For that matter certain class
credits have been taken away from students due to a fraudulent teacher who was
teaching nonexistent classes.
But UNC as a whole has a commitment of a higher standard
that is not being reported in the media. To raise tuition rates and other fees
to cover multiple lawsuits from former players, students and teachers. To pay
out huge settlements to former coaches and administrators who were scapegoated
out of the University. Paying heavy fines for all the violation the students,
staff and University officials broke.
But most of all, UNC is committed to help the new incoming
University Chancellor in receiving a huge pay raise as former Chancellor HoldenThorp was making about $420,000 a year. Yes UNC is everything one can expect
from a public school system that receives tax payer’s money to help run the
school. And with a new $810 million bond that recently passes, things are
looking brighter for UNC's future.
