This chaos clearly still isn’t over for the Flagship. Today, AD Dick Baddour “resigned.” Dick Baddour announced his resignation on Thursday in order for chancellor Holden Thorp to find a new football coach. Thorp said he would interview interim candidates today but would not name a successor for football coach Butch Davis, who was fired […]
Holden Thorp
Butch Fired: What folks are saying (Thursday 10AM update)
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 […]
Tar heel fans wish death to Chancellor Thorp
Tell me more about the ‘bad’ NC State fans. We did a quick perusal tonight of the Twitter mentions of UNC-CHeats Chancellor Holden Thorp and were shocked at some of what we saw. (Being discussed in this thread from our message forums). A lot of crazy stands out in there…but, it is hard to top […]
N&O: UNC professor back home, still unavailable on McAdoo plagiarism
Chancellor Holden Thorp, in an interview last week, said he is not going to dig into Nyang’oro’s handling of the paper. “It’s very unfortunate what happened here, but I don’t get into grading for faculty members,” he said. Could you imagine if the NC State Administration had openly proclaimed they weren’t going to look into […]
The Don (Curtis) of UNC Football
This was originally written over Father’s Day weekend but due to everything that came out last Monday and Tuesday this would have been lost in all the noise. I want to say thanks to the other SFN writers who helped in creating this piece. Last Thursday (6/16) and Friday (6/17) there was a huge deluge of data related to the ongoing […]
Why State Fans Care
Two decades ago, us State fans suffered the indignity of investigations into Jim Valvano’s basketball program by the NCAA, Poole Commission and even the SBI, as well as a vitriolic assault by the local media and Board of Governors. (Click here for a must read that integrates nicely into today’s entry.) As a result of […]
Recent UNC-CH Football scandal articles summarized in Bytes format
 Here is a series of articles, presented in no particular order, from the past two weeks or so concerning one or more of the ongoing UNC-CH football scandals. Time constraints prevent me from full discussions and proper transitions, so please feel free to add well-developed and flawlessly-written commentary and analysis in the comments section. For example, a […]
More Amazing Email!
Given that UNC has still not released all of the email and other records they are required to, it is surprising how much has been found so far. I’m sure more will come out as time goes by, but aside from the UNC professor’s email we talked about last night, there are some additional emails that I think are worthy of […]
9/3 email from UNC professor to Thorp makes numerous explosive assertions
WRAL recently made available this email, sent from UNC Kenan Professor of Medicine David Clemmons to Holden Thorp on September 3rd. The entire thing is a MUST READ. WRAL now has a searchable database of UNC emails up and ready for action. I would invite readers to do some researching and report back any fun stuff […]
BREAKING: Art Chansky out at UNC, 10/6 Chansky email to Thorp about search for Davis replacement
Late this afternoon the word came down that Art Chansky, who is a big wheel at Tar Heel Sports properties, was out, apparently unexpectedly. Also, around the same time, WTVD made available this email, which is amazing. Basically Chansky is critical of Davis in a vague way and is suggesting some guys to conduct a coaching […]
