The Pile Gets Deeper For Carolina

The NCAA announced Monday that they were going to reopen the Case against Carolina what started out as a football issue and as time goes forth has reared it ugly head more at basketball.  What is the statue of limitations when the NCAA is concerned?  Two national championships in basketball could be in jeopardy.  It is my opinion that this is really not so much a sports related issue as much as an academic integrity issue.  Carolina is no different than anybody else  when dealing with athletes but to have courses that any student on campus can take without going to class.  I bet they required non athletes to pay for those courses.  Surely Carolina has lost the luster of being THE UNIVERSITY of North Carolina.

Rumors are circulating that LaBron may go after the biggest contract he can get when bargaining begins for NBA free agents July 1.  If that is true you know Miami wants LaBron  so the end of the big three in Miami May be over.  Who would you keep with James.  If I was making the decision it would not be Wade.  The last couple of years his health has not been worthy of Max Money.

I thought it would happen but tonight's game at Wayne County for Coleman Pitt Post 58 was dropped.  Also with the double header loss Saturday against Raleigh doomed P58 to a first round play off  with Cary Thursday-Friday and Saturday.  That also doomed a last game of the season home game with Wilson Post 13.  P 58 needs to save pitchers for the first round series with Cary.

This so called tropical depression heading this way just might effect being able to get the first game in if it is raining.  P 58 finishes their last division game  Tuesday night at Apex.  My guess a win and at 5-5 we would host Thursday and a loss on the road Thursday but I don't know Cary's record right now so I don't know if that is true or not.  The bottom line is we will be playing Thursday and Friday and maybe Saturday.

A reminder for everyone is the second round starts July 7th so any first round series will end Sunday one way or the other.  You might remember it has happened in the past that rained kept some rounds to not go the distance.  This first round series is a two out of three and if weather one team has not won two games by the end of Sunday the winner of the first game is declared the winner.  It is vital to win the first game of any series just for the weather reason.
