WRAL is reporting the following statement that was released today from UNC’s Athletic Director Dick Baddour: Full story. “The notice of inquiry is a formal notification from the NCAA that they have been reviewing our football program,†said UNC Director of Athletics Dick Baddour. “We have been working with the NCAA and cooperating with them […]
Broughton’s Battle to walk on at State
N & OÂ Story. Battle averaged 13.7 points last season for the 22-6 Caps and made a school-record 61 three-pointers during his senior season.
Michael McAdoo and (UPDATE Robert Quinn) in D.C. party pictures with Coples?
About two weeks ago we ran this entry with the pictures of Coples at the now-famous post-draft party in D.C. At the time, we had no idea who the guys were who were in the pictures other than Coples (on the right). Art Chansky, for one, has stated that there were more UNC-CH players than just Coples at […]
Charles Robinson: “There’s a problem there for Coples”
This afternoon Charles Robinson of Yahoo Sports was on 99.9 The Fan and said some interesting things. You can listen here.  He reported that the NCAA was nearly complete with their letter of inquiry and notice of infractions for UNC-CH when the Coples stuff broke. Robinson added that things have gotten worse for UNC-CH as […]
Chansky: “three other players” with Coples at post-draft party
The hits keep coming!  Today Art Chansky posted this piece, thereby joining the growing media chorus lampooning Butch Davis’ “Sergeant Schultz” act. This Chansky product would merit examination in its own right — Chansky is very critical of Butch Davis, Dick Baddour, and Holden Thorp. But in the midst of all that Chansky drops a huge bomb I had not seen before from a […]
SI weighs in on what UNC-CH might expect from the NCAA
On the heels of Heather Dinich’s lambasting of Butch Davis, the national press continues to say things that should be very scary for UNC-CH football fans. Yesterday, Andy Staples of Sports Illustrated posted this piece covering the NCAA’s hammering of USC (termed “some of the harshest penalties handed down by the NCAA in decades”) and the […]
ESPN’s Dinich skewers Butch Davis
A must-read, brilliantly conceived and flawlessly exectuted. Some highlights: He didn’t know about former assistant John Blake’s reputation as a sly recruiter. He didn’t know about the trips his players took and the thousands of dollars of improper benefits they received that cost seven players their eligibility last year and 14 players at least one […]
Rewind: Butch instituted “sign-out sheet” policy last October (Updated 5/21)
Given yesterday’s news, I thought this would be a good time to remember the “new policies” that UNC-CH put into place last fall.  The full N&O piece from last October is some of the funniest reading you will ever do. Here are some particularly good excerpts. The piece opens: UNC athletic director Dick Baddour says that because […]
Reports: NCAA back on UNC-CH campus looking into Coples — It must not be Friday yet!
Yet another prong! This afternoon word broke that the NCAA was back on UNC-CH’s campus — reportedly asking questions about a recent trip taken by star UNC-CH defensive lineman Quinton Coples. Alert readers will remember Coples for his ridiculously late hit on Russell Wilson (~1:50 mark of that video) during the Wolfpack victory in Chapel Hill […]
Butch says “We told the truth” (with a straight face apparently)
 With the NFL Draft starting tomorrow, there has been an increase in the coverage of the UNC-CH scandals.  Butch seems to be on a publicity tour on behalf of the players involved in the improper benefits and/or academic misconduct scandals. Today’s News and Record has several interesting quotes from Butch. The one that really stuck out to me: “I […]
