The University of North Carolina Chapel Hill’s football program is currently under investigation by the NCAA. Carolina’s athletic director Dick Baddour announced to the media today that representatives from the NCAA had been in Chapel Hill investigating matters related to the football team, but he declined to say what the situation involved.
Baddour also stated publicly today that the NCAA asked the Tar Heels not to discuss the issue in the press.
Inside Carolina, a website that claims to be "the independent voice of UNC athletics", stated on their website that the matter is not academically related.
Carolina is coming off back-to-back 8-5 seasons, and is in the fourth-year of former Miami Hurricanes coach Butch Davis’ rebuilding project. The Tar Heels have not won in Charlottesville since 1981. Butch Davis has lost three straight to Virginia, and the Wahoos have won 10 out of the last 12 against North Carolina.
Last season, the 3-9 Wahoos embarrassed UNC 16-3 in Chapel Hill in just what might have been one of the worst college football games in the modern era.
I’ll have more on this breaking story as information becomes available. Go Hoos!
