A 131-page report on the findings of the University of North Carolina's alleged academic fraud to benefit 3,100 students, 47 percent of whom were athletes, was released Wednesday.
Independent investigator Kenneth Wainstein led the effort to get to the bottom of what transpired in Chapel Hill over the course of nearly three decades.

The report also detailed a 2009 meeting that academic advisers held with the North Carolina football staff. The meeting, which came as Crowder was retiring, included a slide that noted that the classes were "part of the solution in the past" and allowed athletes not to go to class, not to take notes, not to meet with professors and not to engage with the material.
Butch Davis, the UNC football coach at the time, said he did not remember the presentation and said that while he was aware there were classes that were easier, he did not know that the seminar courses were graded by an administrator.
The classes, which no longer exist, were available to all students. Student-athletes accounted for 48 percent of the enrollees in those classes.
