The Whistleblower Blew Smoke

Yep, that's about the size of it...

Despite a dedicated coterie of ABCers dumping immense amounts of time, effort and money into trying to dig up something....anything...to link Carolina basketball to the AFAM scandal...so far, it has all come to nothing. But, since allegations go on page 1, and retractions on page E17, just below "Your Pergola And You!," Carolina is getting crucified in the court of public opinion.

This will add an extra layer of agony if Wainstein does dig anything up. After years of obvious nonsense being propagated as fact by people with grudges against Carolina hoops, it will really, really suck if something real and damning does turn up.

But all we can do is wait.

Of course there is no evidence on God's green earth that will convince the N&O and the Raleigh-Durham Axis of Evil that Roy and Carolina hoops are innocent. But, then, that's not the goal. The News and Observer is dedicated to the proposition that Carolina is guilty. Their selective presentation of the facts, cherry-picking of evidence, and obviously slanted coverage have made that abundantly clear. The goal is to have yet another investigation--but an investigation to end all investigations. Wainstein is above reproach, Nyang'oro is now willing to testify, and this one should put an end to it all.

So we wait...
