As you can see in this story from the N & O, Butch plans to turn over his 216 phone records. But there is a big catch. Butch will be redacting them himself before he does so.
Davis said his personal cell phone records were reviewed “completely and entirely” last fall by UNC’s counsel, and he plans to release them “pretty soon.” He said he plans to redact personal calls from the records.
“It’s a personal cell phone that I’ve had for over 10 years,” Davis said. “And so we’ll redact and I will go through it and things like my wife, my son, my dad, my sister, close personal friends and family members, those types of things. Anything that has anything to do with UNC and business, those will be completely open for public record.”
I wonder if the same UNC counsel reviewed Butch’s phone records and the McAdoo paper. You know, the wildly-plagiarized paper hilariously defended as McAdoo’s own work (except for some minor improper help with cite forms) by everyone associated with UNC. How much credibility can anyone give UNC’s ability to investigate anything after that? But I digress.
(LRM mid-post hi-jack: Nevermind the fact that technically, Butch Davis and John Blake are “close personal friends,” if Butch Davis has been using his personal cell phone for business during his entire tenure at UNC, then why does he get to determine which records should be redacted? Because last fall UNC reviewed them? We can all rest easy knowing that. Shouldn’t some kind of independent review board determine this? The entire UNC administration has gone out of its way since the onset of this investigation to avoid scrutiny from the lowly among us, and now their ringleader, in a magnanimous gesture no doubt, is going to show us little people the records as he deems necessary, since, after all, they were previously reviewed by folks whose integrity we dare not question. This is one of the finest examples yet of the flippant, arrogant elitism over at the Flagship. End hi-jack.)
After Butch gets done with them, many people expect the records to look like this:
Butch also explained yet more things he doesn’t know about:
“There’s a limited amount that any of us know,” Davis said. “I think, certainly, as has been talked about many, many times is that Dick Baddour as the athletic director, he’s been the point guy. And he along with our compliance department and Chancellor Thorp, they’re the ones that are in the know on absolutely everything. There’s a lot of things that I don’t need to know, don’t know. And they’ve handled everything.”
 There’s a lot of things Butch doesn’t need to know? You don’t say!
(WV Wolf end-post hijack): Inside Carolina has Butch’s Pigskin Classic Q&A that includes this gem:
Do you have any reaction to Marvin Austin’s latest tweeting habits?
“No. I don’t tweet. I don’t have a Twitter account and I don’t follow it, but I know that Marvin is very disappointed in the Michael McAdoo result. They were very close personal friends. Marvin, being the type of person that he is, he was very hurt that Michael lost that bid to regain his actual eligibility to continue to play collegiately. That has an affect on it, but one thing I do know is that Marvin knows that I am completely ethical and that I always do the right thing.â€
Completely ethical? Always do the right thing? Really?
