The National Collegiate Athletic Association has modified its allegations in what the Chronicle of Higher Education calls “the worst academic scandal anyone can remember,” the fraudulent courses taken by many athletes at the University of North Carolina. Although these “no-show” classes (no teaching, no classroom meetings) existed from 1993 to 2011, all references to any years before 2005 have been eliminated from the allegations and no sports are specifically mentioned except for women’s basketball.

The new allegations charge the university with lack of institutional control and failure to monitor, but only specifically name the professor who headed the African and Afro-American Department (where the “classes” were housed), an administrative assistant, and a professor who advised women’s basketball.

The Raleigh News & Observer, which has covered the scandal for years, reports:

Men’s basketball and football, some are quick to point out, had the greatest percentage of athletes enrolled in the suspect AFAM classes. Under [Coach Roy] Williams alone, for instance, men’s basketball players accounted for 167 enrollments in the suspect AFAM courses that are at the heart of the investigation. Between 1999 and 2011, football players accounted for 963 enrollments in those classes.

By moving the years of the alleged harms up to 2005 (and after), the NCAA notice relieves the university of worry about vacating the basketball team’s 2005 national championship, even though, the News & Observer reports, many of the players in that winning team had taken the no-show classes — 35 enrollments in two semesters.

Jan Boxill, the former women’s basketball adviser and philosophy professor, is the only person charged other than the two who have admitted their role. Boxill denies the allegations
