Full column from Brett Friedlander: It would seem to me that bringing in someone from the outside to fix a compliance system that clearly failed might have been a more appropriate solution than promoting someone from within. But at least UNC is consistent. Promoting the person in charge of athletic compliance under such circumstances ranks […]
UNC Scandal
Yahoo! Sports criticizes Elaine Marshall
I have literally no time so I will have to rely on other members of the author team and/or the comments of alert readers for analysis of this piece posted today by Rand Getlin of Yahoo! Sports. Here is an excellent quote from the article: North Carolina’s Secretary of State, Elaine Marshall, claimed the expertise […]
Marvin back in the news! Learned from money-buddy, Hakeem Nicks
The News and Observer today posted this article, which explains that Marvin will wear #99 and a UNC helmet in this Saturday’s East – West Shrine game. I can’t express how happy I am about the helmet situation. What a great representative of UNC-CH! Also, Marvin refused to take the Wonderlic intelligence test that is administered […]
“Loaner car” charade at OSU; Parking “issues” extend to UNC basketball? UNC athletes keep on Tweeting(updated)
I thought Yahoo’s Dan Wentzel wrote an excellent column today on the shenanigans at Ohio State: Link to full article. Just as things were quieting down, the Dispatch reported on Jan. 2 that Pryor had been pulled over by police three times in the last three years driving “loaner†cars from a local used car […]
More Amazing Email!
Given that UNC has still not released all of the email and other records they are required to, it is surprising how much has been found so far. I’m sure more will come out as time goes by, but aside from the UNC professor’s email we talked about last night, there are some additional emails that I think are worthy of […]
9/3 email from UNC professor to Thorp makes numerous explosive assertions
WRAL recently made available this email, sent from UNC Kenan Professor of Medicine David Clemmons to Holden Thorp on September 3rd. The entire thing is a MUST READ. WRAL now has a searchable database of UNC emails up and ready for action. I would invite readers to do some researching and report back any fun stuff […]
A closer look at the Ramsay case
In this entry yesterday we talked about how UNC-CH has asked the NCAA for Devon Ramsay’s appeal to be delayed. I thought given this development maybe a closer look at his case would be fun. As alert readers will remember, Ramsay played in the first 4 games of this year before being ruled permanently ineligible for receiving “improper benefits,” which […]
BREAKING: Art Chansky out at UNC, 10/6 Chansky email to Thorp about search for Davis replacement
Late this afternoon the word came down that Art Chansky, who is a big wheel at Tar Heel Sports properties, was out, apparently unexpectedly. Also, around the same time, WTVD made available this email, which is amazing. Basically Chansky is critical of Davis in a vague way and is suggesting some guys to conduct a coaching […]
UNC hired PR firm to manage football scandals; Bowles: “You had a crisis” *3:00 update — Ramsay’s appeal postponed
 Full story from the N & O. Today we learned that UNC hired a New York public relations firm last August to help them deal with the football scandals. There are so many good quotes to get to with the above-linked article — I will just roll them out without much commentary. Hill & Knowlton is a […]
Luke Nails It – Calls out the CaroLoons
Actually, he nails it several times in the same article: This bowl game is for Quinton Coples, who filled the void on the defensive line left by his wayward teammates and as much as anyone represents the good that came out of North Carolina’s season. This bowl game is for T.J. Yates, whose leadership helped […]
