Jim Nantz’s NCAA whitewashing enables scandal and disgrace | New York Post
Nantz knows Roy Williams’ success at North Carolina — including two national titles — to some great extent was predicated on sustained, as in at least 15 years, academic fraud, including no-show classes for his basketball recruits that guaranteed A’s and B’s.
Yet Nantz not only avoided mention of this colossal, enabling scandal, he spoke of Williams as if he’s a beloved Eagle Scouts leader.
At halftime of Friday’s UNC-Butler, Nantz: “Let’s go to Coach Roy.”
...
Before the start of Friday’s Kentucky-UCLA game, Nantz warmly portrayed another coach of impeachable character and methods as taking a sentimental journey: “And coming back to Memphis, where he coached the Tigers for so long, John Calipari!”
Calipari bolted Memphis for Kentucky at the same time the NCAA was investigating academic fraud, specifically the fraud that allowed solid citizen Derrick Rose to remain eligible long enough to help Calipari’s 2008 Memphis team to a 38-2 season and the Final Four.
