Tar Heels coach 'dumbfounded' after NCAA rejects plan for hurricane-relief charity game

With the Carolinas still reeling from the effects of Hurricane Florence, two of the region's Division I college basketball programs wanted to play an exhibition game, with the proceeds going toward hurricane relief efforts. But the NCAA, which oversees college athletics, quashed the plan.

Typical NCAA

Think of the competitive advantage that would be gained if these schools play a meaningless game with all the money going to charity!

The NCAA feels left out. Charity begins at home with them.

NCAA instituted a rule in which college programs cannot add a third “charity” scrimmage, instead it needs to count as one of the two scrimmages/exhibitions allowed. Makes no sense … and thus, there aren’t many “charity” scrimmages this year. That’s a shame … and for what reason?

Exactly

Do it anyway. What are they gonna do about it?

It is pretty obvious North Carolina would be crowned National Champions and South Carolina would get the Death Penalty.

Meanwhile it’s a cesspool of cheating in Bama. Well done NCAA. Well done.
