Those of you who were Wolfpack fans in the mid-90s may remember “InfoPacks†– these were a fan-created informal email newsletter sort of thing.

UNC-CH Defensive End calls the scandal “a good thing.â€
I don’t have the time to put together a full piece with analysis, but I thought I should get something up about this. This morning the News and Observer’s excellent J.P.
