The North Carolina Tar Heels have received their Notice of Allegations from the NCAA, according to a report

The saga between the NCAA and the North Carolina Tar Heels is about to officially get underway, as the school has received their Notice of Allegations on Friday.

Inside Carolina is reporting that while the NCAA does not announce when they slap the schools with the notice, multiple sources have confirmed that they have indeed received it, and now the fun begins.

The entire case that surrounds North Carolina that has them in such hot water with the boys in Indianapolis stems from academic improprieties that took place over the course of years. Student-athletes were allegedly pushed into easier classes, so as to keep them eligible on the field or court of play.

North Carolina opened up and investigation of their own into the matter, and in a court filing that took place just this past Friday, the school acknowledged that the actions did indeed occur.

"“The University acknowledges that certain irregular classes were offered by the Department of African and Afro-American Studies (“AFAM”) for a period of years prior to 2011,” UNC wrote in Friday’s filing.”"

Now as for where things go from here, well, that’s where it gets interesting. North Carolina has already taken action on their own by opening up an investigation. We’ve seen in the past that when you police yourselves, there’s a better chance that the NCAA goes a bit easier on you when it comes time to hand down your punishment.

But, we’ve also seen that when the acts committed as so bad, it doesn’t matter all that much; you’re going to get the hammer dropped on you anyway.
