Because of what amounted to a loophole in the NCAA rulebook, North Carolina’s men’s basketball program was never formally punished for what some experts called one of the worst academic scandals in history.

“I think I would have,” Ingram answered back in April 2015 when asked whether he would’ve already committed to UNC if not for the uncertainty that an ongoing (at the time) NCAA investigation had created.
