In the segment, Willingham and former Tar Heel gridder Deunta Williams explained how athletes at the school were urged to take scam "paper classes," listed in course books as independent studies classes in departments such as African American Studies."* Cenk Uygur, Ben Mankiewicz (What The Flick?!), Dave Rubin (Rubin Report) and Wes Clark Jr break it down on The Young Turks. *Read more here from Philip Caulfield / NY Daily News:http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/college/unc-tutor-reveals-10-sentence-term-paper-earned-football-player-a-phony-class-article-1.1737861 ********** The Largest Online News Show in the World.

We are not afraid to talk about politics and entertainment and sports and pop culture. But that is not the revolution either. The real revolution is in daring to be honest with people.
