Article on North Carolina Cheating - CornFed - 02-27-2015
The link is to a book review of "Cheated" by Jay Smith and Mary Willingham. It is written by Gregg Easterbrook who is a contributing editor to the Atlantic. It's pretty harsh, but deservedly so. Nails Steven Spielberg at the end as a trustee at $C, which has horrible graduation rates for African-American basketball and football players.
We had a thread some time ago which went into this a bit, so I thought the article might be interesting to some.
