North Carolina coach Roy Williams denied allegations of academic wrongdoing Friday by former player Rashad McCants connected to the schools long-running academic scandal. In an interview with ESPNs "Outside the Lines" to air Friday, McCants -- the second-leading scorer on Williams first NCAA championship team in 2005 -- said tutors wrote papers for him and that Williams knew about no-show classes popular with athletes. "I thought it was a part of the college experience, just like watching it on a movie from He Got Game or Blue Chips," McCants said. "... When you get to college, you dont go to class, you dont do nothing, you just show up and play. Thats exactly how it was, you know, and I think that was the tradition of college basketball, or college, period, any sport. Youre not there to get an education, though they tell you that. "Youre there to make revenue for the college. Youre there to put fans in the seats. Youre there to bring prestige to the university by winning games." McCants also said Williams told him he could swap a failing grade from one class with a passing one from another to stay eligible during the 2004-05 season, according to the report. He entered the NBA draft as a junior after that season. "I strongly disagree with what Rashad has said," Williams said in a statement Friday. "In no way did I know about or do anything close to what he says and I think the players whom I have coached over the years will agree with me. "I have spent 63 years on this earth trying to do things the right way and the picture he portrays is not fair to the University or me." McCants comments are the latest allegations levied against UNC in an academic fraud scandal that began as an offshoot of an NCAA investigation into the football program beginning in summer 2010. Those findings centred on the formerly named Department of African and Afro-American Studies, most notably with lecture classes featuring significant athlete enrollments that did not meet and were instead treated as independent study courses requiring only a research paper at semesters end. Former UNC learning specialist Mary Willingham, who has questioned the literacy of Tar Heel athletes, has said "paper classes" were designed to keep players eligible despite many reading at below-grade levels. The fraud findings also unauthorized grade changes and possibly forged signatures on grade rolls. By 2012, an investigation led by former Gov. Jim Martin found the problems in the AFAM department ran back at least to the late 1990s. That probe found no evidence of athletic department involvement, though another probe led by former U.S. Justice Department official Kenneth Wainstein is underway. Stitched Atlanta Falcons Jerseys . Rockhold." Known as an aggressive striker, Belfort (23-10) instead paced himself as the engaged in the early going and showed restraint by not overcommitting against the larger Rockhold (10-2). But when the opportunity presented itself, Belfort delivered an incredible spinning heel kick that landed flush on Rockholds chin and sent him toppling to the floor. Atlanta Falcons Jerseys China .

The game is also avialable on TSN Radio 1290 in Winnipeg at 7pm ct.The Republic of Ireland had to settle for a point from their opening game of Euro 2016 after they gave up a lead to draw 1-1 with Sweden. Wes Hoolahans opener was cancelled out when Ciaran Clark scored an own goal from Zlatan Ibrahimovics cutback 19 minutes from the end.Former Ireland striker Clinton Morrison watched the game for Sky Sports News HQ and maintains its still a result they can use as a platform. He said: Theyll be frustrated but I think Martin ONeill will take a lot of positives from that. They were brilliant for 70 minutes.At the last European Championship, Ireland never turned up or got a point but theyve beaten that already and they turned up in Paris.Now they can take that into the Belgium game. With three teams possibly going through from the group, its not a bad result to start with at all.Morrison - a scorer of nine goals in 36 internationals - also gave us his match ratings, marking each Ireland player out of 10…Darren Randolph - 7 He did ever so well to make a save from one of his own players at 1-0 and commanded his box really well. He couldnt do a lot for the goal but was fine otherwise and can be happy with his performance.Seamus Coleman - 7 I love Seamus and hes one of my favourite right-backs in the Premier League. He didnt do a lot going forward when hes usually the one whod be getting upfield but defensively he was brilliant. He made the goal with a great run and hopefully he can do more of that.Ciaran Clark - 7 Ciaran was so unfortunate with the goal. Him and John OShea kept Ibrahimovic very quiet and overall he gave a commanding show. He has been playing in a team which has been relegated out of the Premier League but that didnt show and he was really strong.John OShea - 7 I could give John an eight but thats maybe a bit too generous. He was exceptional though and he led as a captain really well. The only thing is Ibrahimovic got on the outside of the defence at the goal but that was the only negative and he gave a captains performance.Glenn Whelan - 7 Glenn does a job where a lot of people dont see everything hes up to. Hes not always on the ball but he does a lot to break up the play and he did that really well. You could see at the end that he was knackered, he put in a good shift.James McCarthy - 7 James was close to getting himself sent off a couple of times and he was maybe lucky to stay on the pitch when Olsson went through and he clipped him. Hes a big player for us so it was good he sttayed on the park as him and Whelan will be important against Belgium.ddddddddddddShane Long - 7 He was magnificent. Shane didnt have many scoring chances but he worked unbelievably hard, won headers and got free kicks that took pressure off the team. Apart from getting on the end of some chances, he did everything he was put in there for.Jeff Hendrick - 8 Hes probably not as well-known as some of the other players in our squad but he was very influential in this one. He kept things neat and tidy and could certainly have had a couple of goals had his luck been in. Jeff was really positive.Jon Walters - 7 Hes obviously been injured and I think that maybe showed a little bit. Thats why he also only lasted an hour or so. That said, he worked really hard and gave everything he could despite having a bad Achilles. When hes fit, hes a great asset.Robbie Brady - 8 Robbie has come close to being my man of the match because he was tremendous throughout. He was up and down the line constantly and some of his deliveries into the box were first class. Wes Hoolahan - 9 Hoolahan just shades it from Brady. He took his goal superbly and his footwork was terrific. Ireland havent really got a lot of players who are technically that good on the ball in tight spaces but he was a definite exception. His close control was great and his finish was top drawer.SUBSTITUTESJames McClean - 6 He didnt really get into the game. James had enough time on the park but by that point Ireland were defending quite a lot and thats not a situation that suits him.Robbie Keane - 6 Rob was quiet too but you could see why Martin put him on. He was probably hoping a chance would fall to him on the break because nine times out of 10 hed put it away.Aiden McGeady - 5 Aidens my friend so he can get a five instead! He was only on the park for a couple of minutes at the end and there wasnt enough time to make any impact.
