UNC reporting more infractions to NCAA

184

"North Carolina has submitted academic infractions regarding its football team to the NCAA, according to sources close to the situation. This is in addition to the agent issues. Notes from press conference from Carolina writers:: -This is potentially quite major and UNC might be losing a lot of players. -The tutor did work as a nanny or tutor for head coach Butch Davis, tutoring or nannying his son. -UNC learned of the infractions through joint interviews with the NCAA. That means they might be unable to claim they self reported. -Carolina is a serious academic school and the honor code might require, independently of the NCAA, that the players be suspended for a semester or expelled. -The investigation concerns the majority of the UNC starting defense and some offensive players. -The investigation is still in the early stages. It is unlikely to wrap up soon and is unlikely that the players will play during the investigation. -Heads will roll if necessary. The Carolina way will not be compromised. Press conference link
