UNC Keeps Tabs on Classes with Clusters of Athletes
The Daily Tar Heel (2014)
  • Daniel Schere
Abstract
The UNC Daily Tar Heel interviewed Professor Malagrino as an expert in Sports Law to ask some questions about the NCAA rules requiring schools to show that their student athletes are making progress towards a degree, and to comment on the concerns that these regulations lead to Athletics Departments influencing students to stay in majors rather than switching majors, or lead to students clustering in certain majors, or there being faux classes and coursework; the last being a concern when national news broke recently that student athletes at UNC-Chapel Hill had “paper classes” for the athletes to take, which did not require in-class instruction, and resulted in courses of low academic rigor and a lack of academic integrity.
