After a nearly two year investigation the NCAA Committee on Infractions has issued its final report on the investigation in UNC football over improper benefits and academic fraud. In addition to UNC’s self imposed sanctions, the NCAA has added a one year postseason ban, scholarship reductions of 15 grant-in-aids spread out over a three year [...] Continue reading UNC Receives One Year Bowl Ban, Loses 15 Scholarships Well there shouldn’t have been a lot of things but here we are. [...] Continue reading Greg Little: UNC Shouldn’t Have To Vacate Wins Not a surprise at all. It became clear after Mike Paulus dropped to third on the depth chart behind Braden Hansen and a wildly inaccurate T.J. Yates, the handwriting was on the wall. When you toss Bryn Renner into the mix, I am guessing Paulus did not want run the risk of being fourth on [...] Continue reading Paulus Transferring To William & Mary My latest post at Raycom Sports UNC blog: For UNC, this game is all about opportunity. UNC’s 3-0 start this season is the best opening win streak since 1997 when the Heels started 8-0. With a hapless Virginia team the following week and FCS team Georgia Southern after that, UNC has a good shot at [...] Continue reading High Stakes In Atlanta On Saturday In the direction of his Miami teams from the late 1990s that is: But Davis was quick to dispel thoughts this spring that in two seasons under his watch the Tar Heels have reached the level of the Miami Hurricanes he coached back to prominence from 1995-2000. “The concepts and philosophies are obviously the same,” [...] Continue reading Davis: Heading That Way Slight Diversion Edition. UNC opens baseball season today at 3 PM against VMI as the #2 team in the country.

If NC State’s Lee Fowler has taught us anything it is that having [...] Continue reading Odds And Ends You may recall there was a flurry of articles about the number of commitments UNC had not lining up with the number of scholarships available from graduating seniors. The N&O published the original article and football blogs like The Wizard of Odds basically accused Butch Davis of oversigning players and screwing kids without any evidence [...] Continue reading UNC’s Roster Numbers? Davis Has A Plan Update: ACC Now has an interview with Cam Sexton. Two key points: 1. Not starting the NC State game was a factor although Sexton says a small one. 2. Butch Davis wanted Sexton to return saying there would be a competition for the starting job. Sexton declined and now will go the DII route to [...] Continue reading Cam Sexton Not Returning Gene DeFilippo draws a line in the sand and Jeff Jagodzinski promptly steps right over it. [...] Continue reading Obligatory “BC Fires Coach For Interview” Post No surprise here. Hakeem Nicks has the tools to be a good NFL receiver and there is no need to risk injury for what is probably very little in the way of upward movement in the draft. Besides that, Nicks broke most of the receiving records at UNC in only three years and his 217 [...] Continue reading Nicks To Turn Pro I know I said I was done with football, but we should really take one more look at Hakeem Nicks’ freak show catch during the Car Bowl on Saturday because (1) it is probably the last time we will see Nicks in a Tar Heel uniform and (2) it may be one of the best [...] Continue reading Okay, This Deserves Another Look Tying up loose ends before we shift the revolution of the world to basketball.
