INDIANAPOLIS -- The University of North Carolina appeared before an NCAA infractions committee panel Friday for a procedural hearing in the multiyear academic case.Athletic director Bubba Cunningham told The Associated Press the meeting lasted about five hours in Indianapolis but wouldnt comment on details.We are now looking forward to the next phase of the process, said Cunningham, adding there was no timetable for a ruling.The hearing was focused on procedural arguments made by UNC in response to five charges, including lack of institutional control. In a letter last month scheduling the hearing, the NCAA had said Fridays hearing wouldnt focus on the underlying facts or allegations of the case.UNC had challenged the NCAAs jurisdiction by saying its accreditation agency -- not the governing body for college sports -- was the proper authority for academic questions.The school also said some material from an outside investigators report shouldnt be used because interviews werent performed to NCAA protocols while also pointing to an expired four-year statute of limitations.In addition, the school had argued a March 2012 ruling in an earlier case focused on the football program should have precluded some of the current charges, which are centered around years of irregular courses popular with athletes on the Chapel Hill campus.Specifically, UNC has said the NCAA was aware of key issues in 2011 during the original probe, yet chose not to file additional charges before issuing the 2012 sanctions and had determined no violations occurred at various points in the following years before reopening an investigation in 2014.In documents released this week, the NCAA enforcement staff said UNCs arguments were without merit. Noting that information has trickled in slowly, the NCAA has regarded findings from the 2014 investigation by former U.S. Justice Department official Kenneth Wainstein as new information that triggered the second look.Wainsteins report focused on irregularities that included independent study-style courses in the formerly named African and Afro-American Studies (AFAM) department. The courses required only a research paper or two while offering GPA-boosting grades, according to the report, though many were misidentified as lecture courses that didnt meet.Wainstein estimated more than 3,100 students were affected between 1993 and 2011, with athletes across numerous sports accounting for roughly half the enrollments.None of the NCAA charges is tied solely to the existence of the problem AFAM courses. Rather, charges against the school are focused on failures in oversight, as well as for conduct by a former womens basketball academic counselor and two former AFAM staffers.The timeline is likely to carry this case well into 2017, approaching seven years since NCAA investigators first arrived on campus in the original football case focused on improper benefits and academic misconduct.Fridays hearing came exactly five years after UNCs hearing in that first case.

Western was last ranked first in the country in October 2011. Its extremely rare for an Olympic medalist to return to school to wrestle. This season, there are two.Two-time world champion Kyle Snyder of Ohio State, who became the youngest Olympic champion in U.S. history in Rio , and teammate JDen Cox of Missouri, who won bronze in Brazil, will attempt to defend their NCAA titles.It doesnt really matter who Ill be competing against in college, Snyder said. Ill be trying to work on the things that I know I need to improve on so I can be the best wrestler in the world again.Snyder and Cox are just the sixth and seventh collegiate wrestlers -- and the first freestyle athletes in 32 years -- to attempt to follow up an Olympic medal with an NCAA title.But neither of their schools is favored to win the national championship.Oklahoma State, led by legendary Olympic champion and coach John Smith, was atop the NWCA Division I coaches poll released Wednesday. Penn State, winners of five of the last six national championships, was second, followed by Iowa. The Buckeyes were fourth, and Coxs Tigers were fifth.Here are the story lines to follow as the wrestling season gets underway Friday with the 51st annual NWCA All-Star Classic in Cleveland:COWBOY UP?Oklahoma State returns a slew of All-Americans led by 141-pound NCAA champion Dean Heil and Joe Smith, a national runner-up in 2016.

But the Hawkeyes might just be closing in on the Nittany Lions after years of falling short in the Big Ten and nationally. Iowa has five All-Americans on its roster and should be a tough out in dual meets.We like our guys, Hawkeyes coach Tom Brands said. We need to grow up in some areas, and those guys know who they are.

He is now the star of the U.S. wrestling team, and as such hes been asked to travel extensively with the Americans. Trips to Russia, Ukraine and Iran are on Snyders calendar ahead of the NCAA meet. Still, Snyder might be the biggest favorite to win a collegiate title in the history of the sport.COXS RETURNCox won a bronze at the Rio Games despite tearing the meniscus in his knee during the tournament. Hes expected to be fine for 2016-17 though, and thats bad news for his weight class. But as ferocious as Cox appears on the mat, hes a softie off of it.
