Former UNC safety Deunta Williams says the NCAA is working on speculation and that the Carolina administration was naive in handing everything over and thus are getting it worse that Auburn and Ohio State, which didn’t cooperate as much.<\/p>\n
Speaking on 99.9 The Fan radio Tuesday, he said, “I don\u2019t think we deserved to get it that bad, as bad as we got it,” Williams said. “I really feel like the NCAA is capitalizing off a situation that isn\u2019t fair to a lot of people.”<\/p>\n
UNC’s self imposed sanctions, in hopes of the NCAA going lightly on them with further penalties, includes forfeiting games from 2008 and 2009 and giving up scholarships.<\/p>\n
“If you take a microscope, the same microscope that they did with us, and look at every team in the NCAA, I guarantee it will shake up the foundation that we have right now. There are a lot of teams out there that are doing a lot worse than we\u2019re doing,” he said. “O-State, Miami – their guy goes on record snitches on every player that was good there. It seems like it gets brushed under the bridge a little bit. Every time we turned around, our names and our families were getting questioned, everything was on ESPN. It just seems like its not fair, and I understand that guys broke the rules and they deserved what happened but it just seems like the magnitude that they went at Carolina these past two years was a little crazy.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
