Rosemary Roberts: UNC rewards coach for failure

Posted Nov 30, 2007

I'm a Carolina alum and faithfully cheer for the Tar Heels, especially against arch rival Duke. But Saturday afternoon was different. I didn't cheer at all. One man would be fired for failure, another would be rewarded for failure. It didn't make sense. College sports sadly resembles Wall Street,where CEOs are handed fat bonuses even when they fail to deliver profits. (Greensboro News & Record)
