Clemson AD Terry Don Phillips issued a Dick Baddour-approved statement confirming the NCAA had been on campus to interview two football players and that the school was cooperating fully. He [...] Continue reading Clemson Also Gets A Visit From The NCAA The Stanly County DA’s office has dropped the marijuana possession charge against Quan Sturdivant in exchange for the UNC linebacker entering a “deferred prosecution” agreement. Assistant District Attorney John Phillips said this afternoon that Sturdivant will be required to do 24 hours of community service and will have a substance abuse assessment as part of [...] Continue reading Charges Against Sturdivant Dismissed Earlier in the week, on the strength of Doc’s in-depth look into Marvin Austin’s Twitter feed(a somewhat mind warping experience) Tar Heel Fan crossed the 1,000,000 hits threshold. I know, I know. Your disappointment at the absence of a party and some sort of free swag is duly noted. Now, I am well aware that [...] Continue reading 1,000,000 First up from Fox Sports’ Jeff Goodman who caught up with Roy Williams on the summer AAU circuit who discussed a variety of topics including Harrison Barnes: “It’s unfair that people are talking about him as a savior,” Williams said. “But he has come right in and already earned the respect of the veterans with [...] Continue reading Basketball Tidbits Now the question is whether one of them will play at all. Here is your preseason All-ACC team. UNC had five players, all on defense, named. Robert Quinn, DE Marvin Austin, DT Quan Sturdivant, LB Kendric Burney, CB Deunta Williams, S Quinn received 47 out of 52 votes.

Giglio at the N&O summarizing what can be expected from the NCAA in their investigation of UNC’s football program: According to NCAA documents, for expenses less than $500, the suspension is zero games; between $501 and $700 is 10 percent of the regular season; $701 to $1,000 is 20 percent; and [...] Continue reading Giglio: NCAA Guidelines On Punishments After almost two weeks of playing whack-a-mole with news stories, speculation and whatever people could produce from Google cache, it appears this story has leveled off. The pilot has turned off the seat belt sign. You are now free to move about other topics such as what might happen on the football field this [...] Continue reading UNC Under Siege Day 13: Zzzzzzzzzzz……. This is the audience Butch Davis addressed via @TarHeelFootball. The crowd was four deep around Davis. One writer counted 53 media members and 34 recorders. Needless to say he was a popular guy for someone who was under orders to say nothing about the NCAA investigation. What you see here is a whole slew [...] Continue reading Butch Davis Faces The Media Interesting…I actually thought they would be higher. Here is the order of things as proclaimed by the ACC sports writers. Coastal 1. Virginia Tech 2. Miami 3. Georgia Tech 4. North Carolina 5. Duke 6. Virginia Atlantic 1. Florida St. 2. Clemson 3. Boston College 4. NC State 5. Wake Forest 6. Maryland Here are [...] Continue reading UNC Picked Fourth In Coastal By ACC Media Marvin Austin may have fired off the tweet heard ‘round the college football world, but a review of the cached version of his Twitter account on Google suggests Austin was probably not in Miami at the time of the tweet and lends credence to the notion that Austin was most likely parroting a rap song [...] Continue reading Austin’s Twitter Feed Casts Doubt on Club Liv Tweet UNC sent QB T.J. Yates and DE Robert Quinn to Greensboro for ACC Kickoff. Both fielded more questions about non-football issues than they probably would like. Since agents was pretty much the talk of the day, we did get a view of how UNC handles agents from the perspective of educating players. “It’s just an [...] Continue reading ACC Kickoff Reveals…Nothing Really Despite an ongoing NCAA probe into possible impermissible contact involving agents, Carolina football continues to pick up big football commitments for the class of 2011. Cornerback Tim Scott of Stafford, VA, ranked the #84 CB nationally by Scout.com, is the latest to declare for the Tar Heels. (Note from Doc: I misread IC – I [...] Continue reading Heels Land Another Recruit; Says Coach Tells Him No Loss of Bowl Eligibility From Probe [UPDATED] |
