I decided to make a flow chart of the entire North Carolina scandal for the benefit of some Tar Heel fans who questioned my knowledge on the manner concerning UNC's troubles.

I think this might help him understand all of the facts and what has happened over in Chapel Hill. There is a difference between 'denial' and 'De Nile'.

If you want, you may skip to the last slide to read the seven violations that the SACS listed. Since the SACS has only addressed UNC's academic integrity, the NCAA will have to address UNC's athletic programs, including the basketball program.

Hat tip to The Raleigh News and Observer and SBN's Duke Basketball Report for providing the public with factual information without piling on UNC. Here's the latest from both:
