He plays for the UNC of the NFL. The Patriots can do whatever they want and never truly get penalized. Because of him, the league invented the tuck rule which robbed the Raiders of a Super Bowl.
Also, because of him, nobody can touch a quarterback anymore. It's that pretty boy/GQ mess that has ruined the game.

Brett Hull

Tim Donaghy

Roy Williams

He does his best "Gee Golly" act towards the media, but away from the cameras, he is laughing all the way to the bank! There is no way he didn't know about his athletes taking that fake class at UNC. It went on for the first 8 years of his tenure. There were about 9 players on his 2005 team alone.
He only has upwards of 13 scholarship players per year and three assistant coaches to help him oversee things, but nobody conveniently sees a thing. Then they dragged the case out with the NCAA for 6 or so years, getting away on a technical loophole.
It's kind of funny that all the regular students who took that class couldn't transfer to a graduate school, but he can keep his titles. Roy is the biggest fraud in the game. Anytime a sports announcer praises him, I puke.
