You have to hand it to UNC: those guys have unmitigated gall. Before their new chancellor has her first day on the job, and before lame-duck Chancellor Holden Thorp can announce whatever his “blue-ribbon” panel led by led by Hunter Rawlings, president of the Association of American Universities, has come up with, UNC athletic director [...]
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.
