College basketball Twitter reacts to NCAA decision not to levy sanctions against North Carolina image

The North Carolina Tar Heels can continue business as usual. 

The NCAA announced Friday it "could not conclude that the University of North Carolina violated NCAA academic rules" when it allowed its pupils, a group that included myriad student-athletes, to take Afro and African-American Studies "paper classes" that were deemed, for a lack of a better term, extremely easy.

As the NCAA reasoned, players did reap the benefits of cupcake courses, but so did the general student body. So, the student-athletes, who may have taken the classes to remain eligible, didn't receive special benefits due to their status, and thus ended a more than three-year investigation into academic fraud, the findings of which set college basketball Twitter on fire.
