Current Penalties (Self-Imposed):

From previous article on UNC’s NOA response…

UNC will vacate wins from the 2008 and 2009 seasons for fielding ineligible players.  They will also institute a 2-year probation and a reduction of 3 scholarships for the next three years.  In the words of our very own ‘theCOWDOG’, “I’m convinced that the NCAA response is gonna sound something like this: OK, I’ll see your 9 over 3 and raise ya 12.”
