Reversing its previous decision, the NCAA will now permit UNC-CH’s Devon Ramsay to return to intercollegiate football, after having permanently excluded him incident to the Tarheel program’s multiple ethics issues.

Guess we know who gets all the calls, and has the NCAA in their pockets.
Is everything done, or are there still pending issues with the UNC agent/cheating mess?
Is Butch Davis still employed there?
For all the grief we/I enjoy giving their fans, I think most Duke fans wouldn't begrudge UNC a solid standing as a do-it-the-right-way kind of athletic department, generally. But this sure has to leave a sour taste in the mouths of any fans there with lingering illusions of their program being above that sort of "dirty hands" stuff. I'm sincerely disappointed not to see greater accountability at the top of the FB program. $$ wins again.

I believe that the NCAA has completed their investigation and will, at some point, issue a report with their findings. Carolina will respond at that point. Then, the NCAA will decide what, if any, sanctions/penalties are warranted. Carolina will likely appeal.

Why are you wasting time here when you could be wasting it by listening to the latest episode of the DBR Podcast?

The NC attorney general is after financial and other records of agent Gary Wichard's company relating to potential violations of NC laws about the agent's paying of players.

To amplify slightly on Sage's post, ESPN now reports that a subpoena has been issued for financial records and information; it will be interesting to see if the agent(s) will implicate others to save themselves.
Did I just hear on WRAL that agent Gary Wichard is dead?
ETA: Yup. http://news.bostonherald.com/sports/...osition=recent
UNC had 9 players chosen in the NFL draft, most of any college. Of course, several of them missed games or the entire 2010 season due to scandal, turning a potentially great season into a half-decent season.
Will Butch Davis and crew put a Calipari-like spin on this and call the draft one of the great weekends in UNC football history?
Of course they will. He's unc's answer to Uconn, Ky, Az (lute) basketball coaches.
can the name of this thread be changed? cause there's really no scandal....nothing's gonna happen, no one is in trouble or anything...

After everything that went on with the UNC Football program last season, one would think caution would be used moving forward. Guess not.
NCAA back on campus investigating the Quinton Coples situation. Coples attended a draft party for Marvin Lewis and Robert Quinn. The latest story on WRAL contains newly released photo's from the party with Coples front and center sporting a really nice watch.
Will be interesting to see the UNC AD and Butch spin this one away.
