Apparently there are, after all this, a few adults left over at the Flagship. Holden Thorp isn’t one of them. In fairness to him, he very possibly belives this nonsense (ABC11.com): To restore confidence in the University of North Carolina and our football program, it’s time to make a change,” said Thorp in a statement […]

Joseph B. Cheshire V, the Raleigh lawyer representing the tutor in the middle of the academic misconduct allegations, was unhappy with the decision. “It’s a sad day for the university that they would cave in to obviously orchestrated efforts to destroy their football program,” said Cheshire, a UNC-CH alumnus, a Tar Heel fan and an […]

More from ACC Football Kickoff
-Great interview of TOB about NCAA investigations in college football: Link to must listen interview. TOB says you maintain control of your program by hiring the right staff and there is evidence that he has made good decisions in that 7(?) former assistants of his have been hired as head coaches.

A Closer Look at UNC’s NOA
Does anyone else think that it is funny that McAdoo’s plagiarism on a paper where he had already been found guilty of cheating received more press coverage than an NOA with nine major violations? Oh well, at least some in the press finally realized what the rest of us have known for the last 12 […]
UNC officials continue “cooperation” by declining to speak with WTVD plus random thoughts on local media…
We would like to give the folks from WTVD credit again. Last week, Mark Armstrong got this quote from UNC Chancellor Holden Thorpe: ‘You’re right. Nobody checked it, and I wish we had because we wouldn’t have said so strongly in the appeal hearing that the paper was his work.’ This week, WTVD apparently has […]
Chansky: Davis Should Go – Now
Full link. No school has ever been charged with its associate head coach and recruiting coordinator (John Blake) being a paid by an agent while on the university payroll.

High school football recruits should take notice; Marvin tweets the truth
After yesterday’s court decision that will cause UNC football player Michael McAdoo to officially miss next season, everyone’s favorite Tar Heel, Marvin “Anchorman” Austin, hit the twittersphere last night. During this scandal recruits considering UNC have relayed messages that the UNC staff didn’t(still doesn’t?) feel any sanctions against the program would be severe. The message […]
Judge rules against McAdoo
Full WRAL story. Judge Orlando Hudson needed just a little over two hours to come to his conclusion in a Durham courtroom denying an injunction and thus preventing McAdoo’s return to the field. … “Mr. McAdoo committed academic fraud. He is a cheater. That is what happened here,†Sun said. “The university makes the eligibility […]
