UNC-CH announced late today that Kendric Burney will not play Saturday against Miami and that Charles Brown will not play at all this year. Here is the ACCNow report.

Where Do The UNC Investigations Stand?
I started on a status update on the various investigations and penalties at UNC when the rumors began to break about impending decisions on the remaining academic issues. Not wanting to put out an entry that would be so quickly out-of-date, I decided to wait. Then rumors whirled all day about Burney…he’s cleared, he’s not; […]
Marvin Austin “working his way back on the team”

I don’t have a lot of time tonight, but I am going to pass along a few things. First, some quick “dot connecting” that grew out of the big Sports Illustrated piece that hit yesterday. One interesting passage from that article dealt with “NFL draft guru” Mel Kiper. He is the annoying guy with the “Lego man” […]
UNC player: (paraphrased) only the bank robbers who get caught get in trouble (day 90)
 (picture creation credit to Plz2BStateFan) Everyone must stop what they are doing and this video from the 3:45 mark on (before that is just a bunch of “us aganst the world” garbage) . Anyway, you will see UNC-CH player Donte Page-Moss compare the dismissed former UNC players to bank robbers who just got caught. You see, because if ten people rob […]
