Full article. Some passages: Butch Davis should resign as North Carolina’s football coach. If that doesn’t happen — and soon — the school needs to dismiss Davis. In view of the ongoing and seemingly endless series of investigations into possible transgressions that have occurred during Davis’ supervision of the program, his removal from the job […]
Butch Davis
Baddour asked Hawkins to “speak for them on behalf of the Carolina guys� (Day 76)
 ^Marvin enjoys the LSU game (Picture courtesy of News & Observer/Ethan Hyman  I have to admit that the Daily Tar Heel has done some good reporting on this scandal. There does not appear to be much new going on tonight, so I am going to go through a few things they have done […]
Why “the Carolina Way” is now a punch line (nightly update day 71).
Let’s get right to it. We have a lot of ground to cover. The fallout from yesterday’s NCAA suspensions began with Kendric Burney’s dad giving some great quotes that really raise questions about institutional control. You should read this article in full. I think this passage from that piece damages UNC-CH more than any other I have read since […]
Hawkins’ date discrepancy and other scandal odds and ends (now updated)
Folks, one sure sign that the mess in Chapel Hill has achieved full Gong Show status is that I have to write “odds and ends” columns like this one regularly to make sure we don’t miss anything. First I will mention Butch Davis’ recent remarks as reported by WRAL. When asked about the futures of the 12 UNC-CH players that […]
Gary Parrish: Live-for-today Attitude at UNC Belies Inevitable Reality
I explained earlier in the week — in a column about Tennessee basketball coach Bruce Pearl — how there are really only three types of NCAA violations that can’t be absorbed by a program (paying prospects, committing academic fraud, and dealing improperly with agents), and somehow Davis’ program is facing allegations about two of the […]
Thorp: Davis’ status “not a fair question,†and “plan right now†is for Davis to remain!
As you can read about here, today UNC-CH Chancellor Holden Thorp gave some very interesting answers to questions about Butch Davis’ job status. Asked, prior to a meeting with UNC’s faculty, if he could definitively say that Davis would remain as the football coach, Thorp began his response by saying it wasn’t a fair question. […]
The ACC’s best combined coaching 1-2 punch
September 9th, 9:15 pm: This entry originally posted earlier in the week, but got buried in the UNC scandal coverage. We’re going to bring it back to the top of the blog since we are getting so much traffic from various ACC blogs today. Please don’t miss out on the other big entries we’ve got […]
Butch Davis and Worldwide Wes
William “Worldwide Wes” Wesley is best known of late by his uncanny ability to influence John Calipari’s recruiting classes at both Memphis and now at Kentucky. The New York Times has repeatedly reported interesting stories about “Worldwide Wes” or “Uncle Wes”…or, as he’s known on internet sports message boards, simply as “WWW”. In fact, GQ […]
“Spirit, not the letter of the law”
Here’s what the UNC System President had to say regarding accusations made against one of North Carolina’s flagship universities: Athletics and academics are in tension by the nature of their time demands, but athletics and academics cannot be allowed to be in conflict in a great university. The evidence is clear that the academic processes […]
Curious phone records between Blake and agent surface
Tuesday evening the News and Observer posted this article. It details a strange pattern (and odd  frequency) of communication that former UNC-CH Associate Head Coach/Recruiting Coordinator John Blake had with Gary Wichard, an agent who is a long-time friend of Blake. Folks, I honestly don’t know what to make of a lot of this, but I […]
