North Carolina’s response to the NCAA can be summed up in four words: “None of your business.”
North Carolina is on the verge of beating the NCAA at its own game. The response argues that the NCAA has no jurisdiction and has violated its own rules long before the university ever gets around to actually responding to any of the allegations – which it does with almost casual dismissiveness.
Above it all hangs the existential question of the NCAA’s very mission, one it has never been able to adequately answer: Can it really claim any jurisdiction over academics?
