Judge drops NCAA
from lawsuit filed by
ex-UNC athletes
BY AARON BEARD
AP SPORTS WRITER
RALEIGH ? A federal judge has
granted the NCAA's motion to dismiss a
lawsuit filed by two former North Carolina
athletes seeking to hold college sports'
governing body at least partly responsible
for the school's long-running academic
fraud scandal.
In a ruling signed Friday, Aug. 12, U.S.
District Court Judge Loretta C. Biggs stat
ed attorneys for former women's basket
" We have to sit down
and evaluate the chances
of success and review the
judge's order to see what
we disagree with other
C7
than the conclusions."

-Robert F. Orr, former North
CaroUna Supreme Court Justice
ball player Rashanda McCants and ex
football player Devon Ramsay hadn't
proven that the NCAA had a legal obliga
tion to ensure the soundness of classes
offered at UNC and elsewhere.
McCants and Ramsay.filed their law
suit in January 2015, for months naming
the NCAA and UNC as defendants. That
came two months after an independent
probe conducted by former U.S. Justice
Department official Kenneth Wainstein
outlined nearly two decades of irregular
courses featuring GPA-boosting grades in
a department popular with athletes.
NCAA spokeswoman Emily James
didn't immediately return an email for
comment Friday afternoon.
The case led to questions from UNC's
accreditation agency, which placed the
school on a year of probation that expired
in June. UNC also is currently facing five
potentially top-level charges from the
NCAA connected to the case.
Biggs issued a stay on UNC's motion
to dismiss, noting that another lawsuit filed
by two former ex-UNC athletes is pending
while the court determines whether the
school is an arm of the state with sovereign
immunity. That case was filed by former
football player Michael McAdoo and for
mer women's basketball player Kenya
McBee.
Biggs heard arguments from attorneys
in both cases during an all-day court ses
sion in Winston-Salem, in April.
One of the attorneys handling the
McCants-Ramsay case is Michael
Hausfeld, who represented former UCLA
men's basketball standout Ed O'Bannon in
an antitrust case against the NCAA.
Another is Robert F. Orr, a former North
Carolina Supreme Court Justice who has
become an advocate of NCAA reform.
In a phone interview with The
Associated Press, Orr said that attorneys
would take some time "digesting" Biggs'
order to figure out whether to appeal to the
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth
Circuit, located.in Richmond, Virginia.
"We have to sit down and evaluate the
chances of success and review the judge's
order to see what we disagree with other
than the conclusions," Orr said.
