INDIANAPOLIS -- North Carolina appeared before an NCAA infractions committee panel Friday for a procedural hearing in the multiyear academic case.Athletic director Bubba Cunningham told The Associated Press the meeting lasted about five hours in Indianapolis but wouldnt comment on details.We are now looking forward the next phase of the process, said Cunningham, adding there was no timetable for a ruling.The hearing was focused on procedural arguments made by UNC in response to five charges, including lack of institutional control. In a letter last month scheduling the hearing, the NCAA had said Fridays hearing wouldnt focus on the underlying facts or allegations of the case.UNC had challenged the NCAAs jurisdiction by saying its accreditation agency -- not the governing body for college sports -- was the proper authority for academic questions.The school also said some material from an outside investigators report shouldnt be used because interviews werent performed to NCAA protocols while also pointing to an expired four-year statute of limitations.In addition, the school had argued a March 2012 ruling in an earlier case focused on the football program should have precluded some of the current charges, which are centered around years of irregular courses popular with athletes on the Chapel Hill campus.Specifically, UNC has said the NCAA was aware of key issues in 2011 during the original probe, yet chose not to file additional charges before issuing the 2012 sanctions and had determined no violations occurred at various points in the following years before reopening an investigation in 2014.In documents released this week, the NCAA enforcement staff said UNCs arguments were without merit. Noting that information has trickled in slowly, the NCAA has regarded findings from the 2014 investigation by former U.S. Justice Department official Kenneth Wainstein as new information that triggered the second look.Wainsteins report focused on irregularities that included independent study-style courses in the formerly named African and Afro-American Studies (AFAM) department. The courses required only a research paper or two while offering GPA-boosting grades, though many were misidentified as lecture courses that didnt meet.Wainstein estimated more than 3,100 students were affected between 1993 and 2011, with athletes across numerous sports accounting for roughly half the enrollments.None of the NCAA charges is tied solely to the existence of the problem AFAM courses. Rather, charges against the school are focused on failures in oversight, as well as for conduct by a former womens basketball academic counselor and two former AFAM staffers.The timeline is likely to carry this case well into 2017, approaching seven years since NCAA investigators first arrived on campus in the original football case focused on improper benefits and academic misconduct.Fridays hearing came exactly five years after UNCs hearing in that first case.

Cheap Air Max Shoes . Anthony Calvillo, through 20 CFL seasons, was frequently invincible and largely stoic in the heat of competition. But underneath the professional exterior he was, and is, compellingly human.Sebastian Vettel says Red Bulls decision to swap Daniil Kvyat for Max Verstappen was before the Russian crashed into him at the Russian GP. Red Bulls sudden demotion of Kvyat has proved the dominant talking point in F1 ahead of the Spanish GP, with Kvyat sent back to junior team Toro Rosso just days after twice hitting Vettels Ferrari on the opening lap in Russia.But Vettel told reporters in Spain: I dont think it has anything to do with what happened in Sochi. As I learned, it has been decided already beforehand. I dont know what the reasons are for the swap, but I dont think its related to Russia or in China.After being shunted out on the opening lap in Sochi, Vettel went to see Red Bull chief Christian Horner on the pit wall to discuss the incident with Kvyat - an exchange picked up by TV cameras.Kvyat shocked by his Red Bull demotionI went to him, obviously it was clear what had happened, and I said at least have a word with him, its racing, this happens, but…, thats it, Vettel said on Thursday when asked if his decision to talk to his old boss during the race served to ramp up pressure on Kvyat.Its not my fault theres a TV camera [watching]. I couldnt speak to Daniil at that point because he was in the car, but I think he [Horner] spoke to him. Sebastian Vettel was seething after being shunted by Daniil Kvyat Despite his recent run-ins with the 22-year-old, Vettel praised Kvyat for calling him after the race in Russia to apologise and pointed out that no driver was immune from making mistakes.ddddddddddddThe last race is not the best example for Daniil but, unlike some of his colleagues, he had the balls to give me a call in the afternoon and to tell me what happened from his point of view, Vettel added.Who is under the most pressure in Spain?He realised he has done a mistake and thats the end of the story - theres nothing wrong with that. Of course, I was very upset and disappointed in the first place because it ruined my race, but these things happen. There is no guarantee that I will [not] have a misjudgement here on Sunday, in two weeks, in a year, in five years if Im still around.Mistakes happen. Of course, with experience, they tend to happen less, but this is why we are here. We are all pushing to the limit. I dont think there is anything wrong with that.Like Vettel in 2009, Kvyat was promoted to the senior Red Bull team after just one full season of F1 with Toro Rosso, and the Russian has now fallen behind the even-younger Verstappen in the companys driver pecking order.However, Vettel believes the Russian has the neccessary qualities to remain at the top level.Generally I think very highly of Daniil, he said. His raw speed is very, very high. Maybe the current formula doesnt suit him as well as others, but in terms of talent and raw speed he definitely deserves to be in Formula 1.
