Custom Pistons Jerseys .C. -- The attorney for a former North Carolina womens basketball academic counselor and faculty member who is accused of wrongdoing by the NCAA is pushing back against the charge -- and the investigative process itself.Randall Roden, who represents Jan Boxill, filed a 54-page response this week to an NCAA charge that she provided improper academic assistance to athletes. That was one of five charges against UNC tied to its long-running academic fraud scandal, though Rodens response included a letter to the NCAA complaining of an impossibly burdensome and fundamentally unfair process for gathering and reviewing evidence in the case.Namely, the response states, Boxill has consistently been denied access to the database of her own emails at the center of the charges.They just showed her (emails) that nobody could possibly remember -- it was 10 years old -- and she says, `I dont know, it could be this, it might be that, Roden said Wednesday in an interview with The Associated Press.Well, they were satisfied. Thats all they needed to know. She sent the email, they jumped to a conclusion based on what it says on the email about what happened and shes never given a fair opportunity to explain what it really was.The NCAA gives schools and individual parties named for violations 90 days to respond to charges outlined in a Notice of Allegations (NOA). Thats often tougher for individuals compared to a school working with compliance staffers and outside attorneys.That creates somewhat of a double burden, said Stu Brown, an Atlanta-based attorney who has worked with schools on infractions cases. It tends to necessitate the hiring of personal legal counsel and that can be extremely expensive when you think of just the number of documents and number of pages of things that have to be looked at just for somebody to get up to speed on the case.Both UNC and Boxill filed responses Monday and released them publicly Tuesday. The NCAA enforcement staff has 60 days to respond, which would eventually lead to a hearing with an infractions committee panel.Among its arguments, UNC stated its accreditation agency -- not the NCAA -- was the proper authority to handle issues related to irregular courses with significant athlete enrollments in the formerly named African and Afro-American Studies (AFAM) department.As for Boxill, the NOA cited 18 incidents between February 2003 and July 2010, such as making changes for athletes to use in papers, suggesting a course grade and providing an athlete with a completed quiz for one of Boxills courses.The former philosophy professor and faculty chairwoman retired in 2015 after UNC began taking steps to fire her following a 2014 outside investigation that detailed the AFAM irregularities.Roden said many of Boxills charges are due to email exchanges taken out of context. He said they had since cobbled together more details by talking to former students involved and sifting through thousands of emails released publicly through records requests.As an example, Roden said the quiz in question was a take-home assignment used to spur class discussion. A student emailed her answers to Boxill seeking help. Boxill spoke with her to explain the response didnt answer the posed question, and replied by email change it or fill in as you wish for the student to make her own changes, according to the response.Asked about the complaints in Boxills response, UNC athletics director Bubba Cunningham said Tuesday the school has been very cooperative with the NCAA and anyone else who has asked.Weve been open and transparent in everything that we have done, Cunningham said. And Ill let her response speak for itself. But weve done everything we can, that we think is appropriate for the institution and those that we represent.Roden said Boxill focused on helping students be successful in life and graduate, not stay eligible to compete.Shes 77 years old. Shes not going to work for another NCAA-regulated institution, Roden said. So theres nothing they can do to her. This is about trying to clear her name. .

RIO DE JANEIRO -- It looks as if the water polo pool is turning green with envy.The mens Olympic tournament resumed Wednesday in green-tinged water after the diving pool at Maria Lenk Aquatics Centre turned a dark green the previous day. There was no sign of any water quality issues with the water polo pool during the first day of the womens competition Tuesday.A decrease in the alkaline level in the diving well Tuesday afternoon led to the green color, organizing committee spokesman Mario Andrada said. He added that the pool for water polo and synchronized swimming is being affected in the same way.We have treated both pools during the night and the alkalinity levels have already improved, Andrada said. We expect the color to be back to blue very shortly.Maybe not, according to a U.S. pool expert.Once you get behind, it gets hard to get back in front of it, said Jerry Wallace, chairman of the California Pool & Spa Association, a trade group.According to FINA, the world governing body for aquatic sports, water tanks ran out of some of the chemicals used in the water treatment process, causing the pH level to go outside the usual range, leading to the discoloration. Andrada and FINA said there is no risk to athletes competing in either pool.Just from TV and pictures on the computer, it looks more like an algae than alkaline problem turning the water green, Wallace said by phone from Sacramento, California.Andrada said algae also is an issue.The algae makes the water look green. We kept the same level of maintenance as we did before, but we had far more athletes, he said. We had more dirt in the water and that generated more algae.Wallace said if theres a reaction with iron in the water, the pool would turn a translucent green. But a murky green color, as seen in the diving pool, would indicate an algae issue. Wallace said some strains of algae will grow even in water that is balanced.If theyre cleaning the diving pool and then using the same tools in water polo, they could contaminate it, he said. Algae spoores can be transmitted. Allen Iverson Jersey Large. The warm and humid climate in Rio de Janeiro could be a factor, too.There are no such problems at the swimming venue, a temporary facility with its own filtration system. The diving and water polo pools are part of a permanent facility opened in 2007.The black lines at the bottom of the water polo pool were clearly visible as play continued throughout the day, and there was no evidence of the color affecting the action. But a couple players said they could tell the chemical mixture is off.They put way too much chlorine, U.S. captain Tony Azevedo said. The last quarter, I can barely open my eyes.Everyones obsessed with the green water. Who cares about the green water? Azevedo continued. Sometimes you can have green water, black water, it doesnt matter as long as its safe for us. You throw in too much chlorine, all of the sudden you cant see. These are things that, its the Olympic Games, you cant have that.Hungarian water polo player Gergo Zalanki got some drops for his eyes after an 8-8 draw against Greece. But he wasnt sure chlorine was the problem.Yes, it feels like that, but I dont know, Zalanki said between sniffles. In Hungary theres lots of water like this. It feels like lots of coloring, but theres something different.The Maria Lenk Aquatics Centre, named after the first Brazilian woman to compete in the Olympics, was renovated before the Rio Games. The major upgrades included new springboards, a refurbished medical center, new hydrotherapy baths and two new warmup pools. There is no mention of any update to the water treatment system in the venue description.Andrada said a test event at the facility did not account for increased use for longer periods during the Olympics.We probably failed to note that with more athletes the water could be affected in a different way, he said.---Jay Cohen can be reached at http://www.twitter.com/jcohenap ' ' '
