In the advertising of it, they throw out buzzwords like "we found links to luxury vehicle", "a former player, now booster" with "ties to athlete's such as CJ Leslie", and then they show a video of the player/booster and dude is wearing a UNC hat. I did not catch his name but I believe it is the former football player who was banned by NC State from being on campus, attending any games, etc for like 10 years. I do know State recently took another measure by issuing a No Trespassing thingie to both the guy and his wife. But whatever.
Just seems very strange that they would take it upon themselves to start an official investigation of State athlete's, especially with all the crapola that has been going on in Chapel Hill for 3 years and counting. The NCAA dealt with the CJ Leslie thing, making him pay something like $400 back and sit out two games last season. As far as I know there is no current NCAA investigation going on at State, but if the NCAA does start one without starting another one at UNC it will be downright comical.
