The NCAA said it didn't have the authority to punish UNC under its rules. So in the end, Jay says, the only real consequence UNC faced was the negative media coverage.

In the wake of the NCAA decision, the UNC chancellor stated, We believe this is the correct and fair outcome. I am grateful that this case has been decided and that the university can continue to focus on delivering the best possible education to our students.

Smith isn't alone in arguing that college athletes are often deprived of their rights, especially their right to an education.

Smith says many of the new guardrails simply add extra work for faculty members. For example, before each semester, professors now have to upload course syllabi to UNC overseers, who can verify if necessary that there's an actual syllabus for each course.
