RALEIGH, N.C. -- North Carolina is challenging the NCAAs jurisdiction to pursue charges in the schools long-running academic fraud scandal and is holding off on self-imposed penalties.The school on Tuesday publicly released its response to five potentially top-level NCAA charges, which include lack of institutional control. UNC acknowledged problems tied to irregular courses in a department popular with athletes but also available to non-athletes on the Chapel Hill campus, though it argued that its accreditation agency -- not the NCAA -- was the proper authority to handle such a matter.That agency, the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges, sanctioned the school with a year of probation that expired in June.UNC made several procedural arguments before responding to each charge outlined in a Notice of Allegations (NOA) sent in April. Its response is a procedural step that will eventually lead to a hearing followed by a ruling in a case likely to push into 2017.The NCAA enforcement staff now has 60 days to respond.We had classes that didnt meet our rigor, UNC athletic director Bubba Cunningham said in a teleconference with reporters, but whether or not thats a violation of a bylaw is what were asking the Committee on Infractions to determine.None of the charges was tied solely to the existence of the problematic classes in the formerly named African and Afro-American Studies (AFAM) department. UNCs response cites an internal NCAA report from March 2013 that stated as much, but adds that the document wasnt provided to school officials.Rather, the response states, UNC representatives discovered it by happenstance after traveling to NCAA headquarters to review case files in person in July 2015.The multiyear case grew as an offshoot of a 2010 probe into the football program. UNCs response referenced that earlier case, noting the NCAA investigated whether academic counselors had provided improper assistance to athletes before issuing sanctions in March 2012.UNC argued that a ruling is final, binding and conclusive according to NCAA bylaws, so the March 2012 sanctions should have precluded later charges that could have been resolved previously. That points to a current charge against former faculty chairwoman and womens basketball academic adviser Jan Boxill for providing improper assistance and suggesting a grade in a course on at least one occasion between February 2003 and July 2010.The school also cited an expired four-year statute of limitations.UNC raises these jurisdictional and procedural issues not to excuse the underlying conduct or to escape accountability for those events before its accreditor or elsewhere, the response states, but rather to ensure mutual adherence to the rules that govern NCAA enforcement actions, including this one.As a result, the jurisdictional and procedural issues make it difficult ... to assign appropriate penalties for the alleged violations, the response states.Individually, UNC disputed the institutional-control charge. It accepted that Boxill provided improper assistance in 15 of 18 cited instances, though it disagreed that she engaged in unethical conduct and suggested the charge be treated as a less-severe Level III case instead of a Level I.It also accepted that it failed to properly monitor Boxill as part of a broader oversight charge that spanned from fall 2005 to summer 2011, but suggested it be a Level II violation.Randall Roden, a Raleigh-based attorney representing Boxill, provided The Associated Press with a copy of Boxills separate response. It denies wrongdoing in the opening sentence.It did not happen, it states. Not one of the allegations against Jan Boxill is true.The case centers on independent study-style AFAM courses requiring a research paper or two while offering GPA-boosting grades. Many were misidentified as lecture courses that didnt meet.A 2014 review by former U.S. Justice Department official Kenneth Wainstein estimated more than 3,100 students were affected between 1993 and 2011, with athletes across numerous sports making up roughly half the enrollments.The NCAA reopened its case in 2014 and first filed charges in May 2015. UNC was near its response deadline when it reported additional information for review, pausing the process for eight months until the arrival of a new NOA.---Follow Aaron Beard on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/aaronbeardap Eric Rowe Jersey .ca.

LOUIS -- Roman Polak was celebrating even before Alexander Steen scored the winning goal in Saturdays 4-2 win over the Carolina Hurricanes. NEW YORK -- When Leander Paes walked over to the cramped interview station by the front door of the Bud Collins Media Center at Flushing Meadows, you would be hard pressed to know he just had a tough loss in his opening match.Paes, with eight doubles and 10 mixed doubles major titles to his name, suffered a tough 2-6, 7-5, 4-6 defeat with new partner Andre Begemann to Dudi Sela and Stephane Robert on Friday.But he greeted the small gathering of reporters awaiting him, with a beaming smile and firm handshakes.What else do I have to prove? he says, smiling again. Ive won 18 grand slams. Its all fun now.Paes said he and Begemann, the 32-year-old German, are still finding their feet together.It was a tough loss, Paes added. Im adjusting to a new partner. It takes a little getting used to. But weve had a great run so far, won Biella [Challenger], made the final in Winston-Salem, and had all sorts of chances to win today. Its just a tough learning curve.It is how a player responds to defeat throughout their career, Paes believes, that defines their legacy.Everyone can be great when theyre going well, he said. Who can be great when youre down -- thats a true champion.You win once, you win 10 times, thats great. When things are going good everyone looks great. Put your hair in place, you look great. When things are not good, thats when a true gentlemans quality shows up.Resilience, the ability to get through days like this, to get through hardships. To not get too down when you lose, to not get too up when you win. Resilience to keep getting better. resilience where your passion burns so hard, that you want to keep reinventing yourself to get better.The journey to the summit, in whatever discipline youre playing is a lonng road.dddddddddddd When you get to the summit, the view from there is so pretty that it lasts a few hours because the next Monday youre back in a draw with everyone else in tennis.Paes is 43 years old, and it seems like there is nothing left for him to achieve after another huge year. 2016 saw him complete the career Grand Slam in mixed doubles with Martina Hingis, and also saw him compete in his seventh Olympics, the only tennis player to do so.?It was great to get that seventh Olympics, he added. It was fantastic to have the record of most Olympics for any tennis player. It was a dream come true. If you had asked me after my third Olympics if I would be there for the 4th, I would probably say youre crazy.But then doing the fifth, the sixth, the seventh - Im a very blessed man. Just a very, very blessed man. Pretty happy with my career as anyone would be if they were in my shoes.Paes, who still has the passion for tennis, believes, he now has to help inspire others, and become?an example for the younger generation.?Ive had a big career. Really long, really big. I just play because I love tennis, he said. I feel like an ambassador for the game. I feel like in my own way, I can create dreams for young kids, or I can show other people that no matter how old you are that you can continue to persevere and have that resilience to get better every day, to bring the champion in you out every day.I mean look how hard our jobs are. Its a tough economy anywhere in the world. The worlds going through a tough time right now.?But we can create something for people to have a faith, and a belief. ' ' '
