RALEIGH, N.C. -- The NCAAs academic case against North Carolina now has an added step likely to delay resolution a little longer: a procedural hearing.The school is scheduled to appear before an NCAA infractions committee panel Oct. 28 in the case tied to its long-running academic fraud scandal. But the hearing will focus on UNCs procedural arguments in its response to five serious charges instead of whether violations occurred on the Chapel Hill campus.The school released a letter Friday from the NCAA setting the date for Indianapolis. UNC faces five potentially top-level charges, including lack of institutional control, in a case that grew as an offshoot of a 2010 inquiry into the football program.The panel will not discuss the underlying facts or allegations for the purpose of finding facts, concluding whether violations occurred or prescribing penalties, the letter states, noting the NCAA used a similar step in a 2006 case involving Ohio State.The NCAAs letter, dated Monday, also names the seven members of the infractions committee panel tabbed to handle the UNC case. It includes Southeastern Conference commissioner Greg Sankey as the chief hearing officer and former U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales from President George W. Bushs cabinet.Stu Brown, an Atlanta-based attorney who has worked with schools on compliance issues, said he expected the procedural hearing and ruling might add another four to six weeks to the process. The case likely would resume a typical course with another hearing on the merits of the charges, with the panel issuing a ruling weeks to months afterward.Brown said UNC could potentially pare down the record of the case against it if successful in some of its claims.Its almost a no-lose opportunity for Carolina, Brown said. If Carolina wins on this procedural stuff and gets some of those allegations or evidence excluded, thats a win for Carolina. If nothing gets excluded ... theyre no worse off in terms of what they face in the Notice of Allegations.Still, the timeline already was likely to carry this case into 2017, approaching seven years since NCAA investigators first arrived on campus in the original football case focused on improper benefits and academic misconduct.The Oct. 28 hearing will come exactly five years after UNCs hearing in that case.In its August response, UNC challenged the NCAAs jurisdiction to pursue charges in a case centered on problems in the formerly named African and Afro-American Studies (AFAM) department. It argued that its accreditation agency -- which sanctioned the school with a year of probation that expired in June -- was the proper authority to handle the matter.The schools procedural arguments cited an expired four-year statute of limitations. It stated a March 2012 ruling that included sanctions against the football program should have precluded later charges, because some of the academic issues were examined during that first probe starting in fall 2011.Then theres the issue of an independent 2014 probe into the AFAM problems by former U.S. Justice Department official Kenneth Wainstein, most notably lecture classes that didnt meet and operated as independent study. Wainstein interviewed the two people most directly linked to the irregularities -- former department chairman Julius Nyangoro and retired office administrator Deborah Crowder -- and estimated that about 3,100 students were affected between 1993 and 2011 with athletes across several sports representing about half the enrollments in the problem courses.The NCAA enforcement staff cited Wainsteins report in its Notice of Allegations outlining charges in April. But UNCs response sought to block its usage because the inquiry was not conducted in a manner consistent with NCAA investigation protocols by lacking recordings of interviews, failing to notify witnesses of a right to counsel and failing to notify them that the purpose was to determine if there were NCAA violations.None of the NCAA charges is tied solely to the existence of the problem AFAM courses. Rather, they are focused on failures in oversight. The NCAA charged Nyangoro and Crowder with failing to cooperate with its investigation in 2014 and 2015. It also charged a former faculty member and womens basketball academic counselor with providing improper help on research papers and assignments.

A week out from his super fight against Patricio Pitbull Freire and Benson Henderson has already downed his sixth cup of coffee of the day. The java isnt directly related to his fight prep, but instead to a new calling.Life with a newborn is tiring. Im very sleep deprived, Henderson told ESPN.com. Its pretty amazing. I wouldnt change it for the world.Henderson (23-6) is the father of a son, Kyung, who turned one earlier this month. For the 32-year-old, being a father hasnt changed his professional goals. Hes still looking to put on a show Friday at Bellator 160 against Freire in the main event.After losing his Bellator debut to Andrey Koreshkov at welterweight in April, Henderson is dropping down to lightweight against Freire, normally a featherweight. The winner will have a date with 155 pound champ Michael Chandler down the road. In addition to that, becoming a dad has added a new focus and drive to Hendersons life.As a father, my priorities are still the same, I still want to be the best fighter on the planet, but above that I want to be the best father I can be. I want to be the best father on the planet, so I make sure that my son comes first, said Henderson. Ive got to do this, Ive got to do that, so if that means I have to wake up at 5:09 in the morning, I set my alarm for 5:09 to get that early, early morning workout.Smooth does those workouts at his gym, The MMA LAB, in Glendale, Ariz. He describes it as a family friendly atmosphere, where moms and dads can take a jiu-jitsu class or work on strength and conditioning while the kids are doing a wrestling class. Saying a gym has family atmosphere is one thing, but this is legitimate. Henderson told The Fighter and the Kid podcast that the godfather and godmother to his son belong to the team.We truly care about each other, helping each other. We want each other to live our dreams. Theyre helping me live my dream, Im trying to help themm live their dreams.dddddddddddd Without that kind of support, being a fighter is hard, its tough.You may recall seeing Henderson propose to his then girlfriend, Maria, on national television minutes after beating Gilbert Melendez to defend his UFC lightweight title in April 2013. She said yes, and they tied the knot the following January. Maria also trains at the gym and is a gold medalist at the 2014 IBJJF World Jiu-Jitsu No-Gi Championship in the purple belt division. Needless to say, she can hold her own on the mats.Im man enough to admit, she has gotten me twice legitimately, Henderson told The Fighter and the Kid podcast.Although he has his little friend at the gym each day, Henderson states he wont push his son into the sport. Hell leave it up to Kyung to come to him if he wants to be involved in martial arts. If he gets interested in jiu-jistu, Benson says hell have a gi in just the right size ready to go. Seeing all the positive impacts martial arts have made in his own life, Benson intends to raise his family in the same fashion, but Kyung may have already have the itch, even if he hasnt said so yet.Hell be at the gym as were teaching class. As were practicing, before he was walking, he was punching the bag and kicking the bag like almost falling over but kicking the bag, Henderson told The Fighter and the Kid podcast.Henderson met with a few boxers while promoting Spikes doubleheader weekend of combat sports, kicked off by Bellator 160 on Friday, then Premier Boxing Champions on Saturday. He remarked at how some of them stated theyd go away from their families for a 12-week camp and how that wouldnt work for him.I dont think I operate quite that way, said Henderson. For this fight, for all my fights, my family will be with me pretty much the whole week. ' ' '
