The academic fraud scandal in the spring of 2010 that hit the ECU baseball team got the word today from the NCAA. The Infractions committee took away 17 wins the Pirates got during 2010 while the four players that were part of the infractions played. The entire Sports program for ECU will be on probation in 2011/2012 school year. The most important point is they will not lose any TV rights or Bowl or playoffs games in the 2011/2012 year. This is probably the best the Pirates could have asked for.
This should make all Tar Heel fans nervous since the football scandal in Chapel Hill started about three months after the ECU trouble started. Don't be surprised as Carolina doesn't have a verdict on their deal during the summer.
Just watched enough of American Idol to see Scotty make the finals. I have not watched a total of two hours the entire season and after the weekend Scotty had last weekend at home I saw it all tonight. I know I'm pulling for him now knowing his bedroom is decorated In Wolfpack Colors. Even his dad tonight wore a Wolfpack sweater live from Hollywood. Go Wolfpack... I mean Scotty!
Speaking of N C State they beat Boston College today and Georgia Tech beat Virginia Tech in baseball that guarantees the Wolpack 8th spot in ACC baseball and a trip to the ACC baseball Tournament next weekend. This has been a disappointing year for the Pack and yet are rated 28 in the Power Ratings.
Third round of the baseball playoffs at 6.00pm at Gryphon Stadium Friday Night. North Lenoir will be in the house. Nash Central girls host a second round softball at 7.00pm.
On my last blog we were discussing the Gryphon lineup for Friday's game. One thing that I failed to mention with Matthew Berry's injury. This year he has become the #3 pitcher so not only will the Gryphons be short or slowed down at third base but Sam Lilley not being able to pitch either the arms for the Gryphons are getting shorter and shorter.
