The University of North Carolina was accused of five of the NCAA’s most severe violations, as part of a renewed investigation into impermissible benefits and academic fraud committed at the school.
In its notice of allegations, sent to UNC last month and published online Thursday, the National Collegiate Athletic Association supplied evidence that school employees suggested grades for athletes, turned in assignments on their behalf, and refused to comply with a previous investigation. It also claims the schools displayed a lack of institutional control as the violations occurred.
