Marvin, UNC-CH football scandals featured on ESPN’s “Outside the Lines”
On Easter Sunday our man Marvin Austin (0-3 against NC State) was featured during the first 15 minutes of ESPN’s magazine program hosted by Bob Ley. I watched it at 10:00 a.m. but it is also scheduled for 9:00 p.m. tonight. You can also watch it online here, although Ley’s discussion with Shefter is not included. I found […]
Judge rules against UNC-CH in media’s lawsuit (updated with Thorp’s statements) (2nd update with legal analysis)
 Full article. During the last month or so, the decision was made that our UNC-CH football scandal coverage would yield the field in favor of more important things. Now that the basketball coaching situation has been settled and spring football practice is over, however, you can expect SFN to jump back on the UNC-CH football story. Included will be […]

O’Brien: “We can count at our school” (1:40 update with Ovies commentary)
This is a good report from a recent Fayetteville Wolfpack Club Caravan stop. It includes an excellent quote from Coach O’Brien, perhaps directed at the recent ludicrous UNC-CH Spring Game crowd estimates: “We can count at our school,” O’Brien said. “We are obviously the mathematicians, the scientists. We don’t have to estimate or guesstimate. We’ll […]

UNC-CH Spring Game attendance: friends and family only (updated Sunday p.m. with lots of bonus pictures)
 As you can see in the picture, those super-loyal UNC-CH football fans turned out literally by the dozens for their Spring Game, creating what must have been a big-time football atmosphere! How did the wide receivers hear the signals over all the crowd noise? Recruits must have been impressed. Let’s all take bets on the “announced attendance.” *********** 7:25 […]

Late Tuesday we told you that top UNC-CH recruit Delvon Simmons had asked out of his letter of intent — and that this move seemed possibly connected to former UNC-CH coach Brian Baker’s quick exit after signing day. Today the press is getting around to covering this story and causing interesting (and incongruous) facts to surface. For […]
Delvon Simmons wants out of UNC-CH LOI (Baker Prong update)
Today brought the big news that all-world, bazillion-star defensive lineman Delvon Simmons is asking out of his UNC-CH letter of intent. The circumstances of Simmons’ recruitment raised a lot of eyebrows on signing day — his late switch to UNC-CH was considered to be one of the biggest late surprises nationally. The role of former UNC-CH defensive line […]
