The NCAA says North Carolinas argument that the governing body lacks jurisdiction in the schools ongoing multi-year academic case is without merit.In a Sept. 19 filing released by the school Tuesday, the NCAA enforcement staff pushed back against the schools procedural arguments in response to five serious charges by saying all the arguments lacked merit. UNC had argued that its accreditation agency -- which put the school on a year of probation that expired over the summer -- was the proper authority to handle such a matter instead of college sports governing body.UNC also argued that there was an expired four-year statute of limitations and a March 2012 ruling in an earlier case should have precluded some of the current charges.In addition, the school said that some material from an outside investigators report into academic irregularities on the Chapel Hill campus shouldnt be used because interviews werent performed to NCAA protocols.Indeed, its response rests almost entirely on these procedural issues and touches only minimally on the underlying substantive facts, the enforcement staffs reply states.After noting that many of the procedural issues had been addressed with the school previously, the documents states: The parties explored each at length throughout this case and each is without merit.North Carolina is scheduled to appear before an infractions committee panel in Indianapolis on Friday in what amounts to a pretrial hearing. The focus will be the procedural arguments and not the facts of whether violations occurred, including lack of institutional control.The case grew as an offshoot of a 2010 inquiry into the football program. It centers on independent study-style courses in the formerly named African and Afro-American Studies (AFAM) department requiring a research paper or two while offering GPA-boosting grades. Many were misidentified as lecture courses that didnt meet and featured significant athlete enrollments across numerous sports.A 2014 investigation by former U.S. Justice Department official Kenneth Wainstein estimated more than 3,100 students were affected between 1993 and 2011.Also Tuesday, UNC released correspondence between the school and NCAA ranging from summer 2014 through last week in the case. That included a letter from an attorney representing the school pointing out that the NCAA was aware of the key AFAM issues in 2011 during the earlier joint investigation, yet it didnt charge the school with additional violations before issuing its March 2012 sanctions against the football program.This was not a different case than what was investigated in 2010-11, decided in 2012, and revisited in 2013, the Oct. 19 letter from Richard J. Evrard states.None of the NCAA charges is tied solely to the existence of the problem AFAM courses. Rather, they are focused on failures in oversight.The timeline is likely to carry this case well into 2017, approaching seven years since NCAA investigators first arrived on campus in the original football case focused on improper benefits and academic misconduct. Fridays hearing comes exactly five years after UNCs hearing in the original football case.---Follow Aaron Beard on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/aaronbeardap Cheap Adidas Coyotes Jerseys .

I know its common knowledge that all players are responsible for their sticks. We witnessed that when Zack Kassian hit Edmontons Sam Gagner in the face after a missed check. Cheap Coyotes Jerseys Authentic .ca. Kerry, Just watched the shootout in the Coyotes/Leafs game and I have to ask, why was the James van Riemsdyk goal allowed to count? All of the video replays we were shown on TV were inconclusive about whether the puck had entirely crossed the line or not. Everton scored late in each half to come behind and beat Arsenal 2-1 at Goodison Park on Tuesday.The Toffees started the match poorly, in line with some recent disappointing form, and fell behind after 20 minutes to a fortunate Alexis Sanchez free kick. The Chile forward stepped up after Phil Jagielka had fouled Francis Coquelin just outside the box, and his low effort took a deflection as it squirted through Ashley Williams legs to wrong-foot Maarten Stekelenburg and find the net.Up to that point, the Gunners had easily dominated an abject Everton, who were poked into life by the goal and started to apply some pressure, with Aaron Lennon shooting over from close range after Nacho Monreal had failed to clear a Ross Barkley free kick.The hosts keppt pressing and finally got their reward just before the break, with Seamus Coleman leaping to glance a header into the bottom corner from Leighton Baines curling cross.ddddddddddddThe second half was a more even affair, with Mesut Ozil shooting over from 12 yards for Arsenal and Romelu Lukaku almost reaching a loose ball right in front of goal. But it was the hosts who grabbed the winner, Ashley Williams arriving unmarked to head home Barkleys corner in the 86th minute.There was time for further drama as Baines cleared off the line from substitute Alex Iwobi before Jagielka was sent off for a second bookable offence.
