    All too often, it didn't, we just didn't know better. College sports has been a cesspool for a very long time. So in that respect, it's a good thing that this came out and UNC is having the hell embarrassed out of it. It needs to happen anywhere else this stuff is going on, too. Sometimes reform doesn't happen any other way. Bright lights and cockroaches, etc.

    There was a restaurant in Chapel Hill in which customers who ordered fine wine were given a glass of water and the waiter would pour some wine in to flavor the water.

    When the government agency accused the restaurant of fraud for cheating customers...

    The owners of the bar, who were UNC administrators, said, "As long as we say it is fine wine, it is fine wine and we did nothing wrong. Some fine wines are simply more water than other fine wines."

    UNC students said, "Everyone waters down their wine!"

    AFAM grads said, "We all drank fine wine in our college days!"

    Roy Williams, who is part owner of the bar, said, "I didn't know the restaurant even served wine!"

    The supplier of the wines (SACS) was called in and found what the restaurant was serving wasn't what was intended.

    The restaurant swore that from now on they would do it right, and showed them all the procedures they put in place to assure that it wouldn't happen again.

    The wine supplier gave them a stern warning and put them on probation. They also instructed the restaurant that if any former customers show up that had been cheated, that they be offered a fresh glass of unadulterated wine for free.

    Later on when the government agency (NCAA) finally showed up to investigate in person, the restaurant pulled out all the receipts of the wine they received from the supplier, arguing that at least in their minds the supplier was completely in agreement with what they had been doing previously, and showing the receipts as 'proof' that it was acceptable.
