North Carolina Forced to Leave 15 Players Home After Scandals
College Football September 3rd. 2010, 2:45pm
The award for the most corrupt program (we know about) in college football goes to the University of North Carolina. The Tar Heels, embroiled in both an academic and improper benefits scandals, had to leave 15 players behind as they travelled to Atlanta for their game against LSU. Six players are suspended indefinitely: defensive tackle Marvin Austin, defensive ends Robert Quinn and Michael McAdoo, cornerback Charles Brown, cornerback Kendric Burney, and wide receiver Greg Little. The nine others presumably retired to their Bentleys and lavish apartments to await a ruling. Half the UNC starting defense is out along with both starting running backs. Les Miles has to be fired if he loses this, right? [ACCNOW] [Photo via Getty]

So, LSU by 40?
September 3rd, 2010 at 2:48 PM
I didn’t know Roy had 15 players on scholarship.
September 3rd, 2010 at 2:48 PM
Good. Next step for the NCAA should be punishing their hoops program.
My gut tells me that Butch Davis will be gone at the end of this season.
September 3rd, 2010 at 2:49 PM
well, they DID say it was an NFL caliber defense…
September 3rd, 2010 at 2:52 PM
A Jordan Jefferson quarterbacked team couldnt score 40 against air.
September 3rd, 2010 at 2:53 PM
still amazed that butch never got caught at miami
September 3rd, 2010 at 2:54 PM
I don’t see how any of this is Butch Davis’ fault.
/Saban’d
September 3rd, 2010 at 2:55 PM
i never remember even hearing rumors about miami. soooooo?
September 3rd, 2010 at 2:57 PM
Shut up, duder. Butch’s record at UNC is pretty rough to begin with (WTF was Mack Brown doing down there?) so this is pretty much curtains for him. I think this UNC might not live up to their preseason ranking
September 3rd, 2010 at 2:57 PM
why did he go to the dark side all of a sudden?
September 3rd, 2010 at 2:58 PM
you could be right
September 3rd, 2010 at 2:59 PM
cause UNC ain’t Miami.
September 3rd, 2010 at 2:59 PM
A Jordan Jefferson quarterbacked team couldnt score 40 against air.
true, but their defense probably can.
somewhere Hakim Nicks is laughing his ass off.
September 3rd, 2010 at 2:59 PM
Much Harder to win at UNC than at Miami.
September 3rd, 2010 at 2:59 PM
It blows my mind you could make a statement like that.
Still spouting this shit huh?
September 3rd, 2010 at 2:59 PM
Surely he can’t fuck up hand-offs that badly?
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:00 PM
I’ve watched the Miami fan fight at least 20 times, and I still laugh my ass off with the dude with the pony tail gets sent flying.
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:00 PM
pay them or not credit is due for getting that much talent at unc
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:02 PM
agreed every dude that has a ponytail deserves to get tossed down a few rows of seats at least once in their life
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:03 PM
still amazed that butch never got caught at miami
The NCAA got a hard on when it realized how much fun nailing USC was. So they are out to find more women, I mean athletic departments, to wreck.
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:03 PM
Everytime I hear DSL on TV, i giggle to myself.
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:04 PM
He hired Sooner dipshit John Blake.
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:08 PM
Is it wrong to laugh at the misery of your rivals even if your team sucks more then they do? I need a ruling on this.
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:09 PM
Reader, having grown up in North Carolina knowing people from both schools and having a brother that went to State, I say you can laugh.
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:09 PM
18 hundo for a transmission fix. off topic but extremely unfortunate for yours truly
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:09 PM
Laugh away.
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:10 PM
yes.
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:11 PM
Is it wrong to laugh at the misery of your rivals even if your team sucks more then they do? I need a ruling on this.
Not only can you, I’ll join you in your laughter. Sorry, cleet, I’m still in my hate Butch Davis phase
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:11 PM
Brutal. I’m about to stroll over to my mechanic and give him 500 and some change for work today. Realizing this is part of owning a car doesn’t stop it from always sucking.
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:11 PM
nothing wrong with taking pleasure in their misery.
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:11 PM
I feel your pain. I just dropped some hefty coin for a water pump and a radiator last week.
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:11 PM
Oh, come on spencer. You’d be laughing at RichRod’s fuck ups even if OSU sucked
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:13 PM
not if OSU sucked worse.
expect a similar reaction from UNC fans to what michigan fans give MSU fans.
/sorry sparty
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:14 PM
USC laughs at these benefits.
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:14 PM
Harrison’s going to lose this thing in 5, I think. Good match, Stakhovsky’s just playing better.
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:15 PM
the fact that i’m most certainly getting jobbed doesn’t help matters.
“oh you need a new Johnson Rod in here!” “Well, better put that on.”

Yep. The most corrupt fuckup in college football.
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:15 PM
Way to ruin my Saturday night, you f#*(ing c&^@)_!
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:15 PM
Dude, he bit it hard. That right leg got all twisted up. He was nowhere to be seen the rest of the fight.
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:17 PM
Coop’s favorite game.

The man drafted Gerard Warren over Richard Seymour and a long snapper in the 5th round. Evvvvvvvvveeerything is his fault.
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:18 PM
why did he go to the dark side all of a sudden?
Ask Walter White. People break bad.
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:18 PM
Cleet, I just found something new in that fight.
Second video, about the 17 second mark, the kid who was initially sent flying returns to the fight and does these slap punches to a guy. Said kid gets pulled back by the shirt and into the arms of a big security guard who (weakly) hits him in the back with a knightstick.
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:19 PM
Impressive.
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:21 PM
OK, closer to the 14 second mark.
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:21 PM
Ask Walter White. People break bad.
Impressive.
So in the bag for this show it’s not even funny.
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:21 PM
we’re gonna beat them for the 3rd year in row. i don’t care.
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:21 PM
those slap punches looked super girly, should have wound up, focused, and delivered one bricklaying punch with a heavy follow-through. If he did that, we’d all be praising him right now.
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:21 PM
with a knightstick.
Is that some sort of British thing?
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:22 PM
Great show.
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:23 PM
Masoli won his appeal.
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:23 PM
anybody else see the recent fight clip with the guy getting out of his car with a bat, then, after losing the bat, sprinting back and driving away as people tried to rip him out? geez.
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:23 PM
We’ll see about that. I’m interested to see if Dantonio will use his 1967 style offense in that game despite UM’s trainwreck secondary.
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:24 PM
Haters gonna hate. I still like the guy. I’m not a UNC fan even though I would like them to win Saturday night.
NDub, haha, I don’t know which is funnier: HIs punching style or the guard feeling a nightstick to the back of a 12 year old was necessary.
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:24 PM
It’s how Bobby Knight used to beat Neil Reed.
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:26 PM
Ha ha, yes. It was labeled “Boston street fight” or something like that. TBL actually had it in the Roundup about a week or so ago.
That initial douche, the shirtless one, deserved it. He seemed pissed about something and was just messing with anyone he could find.
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:26 PM
he should be fired for cheating and still being average.
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:26 PM
Finally a deserving kid who has done nothing but be a good student and citizen gets some justice.
/whitest kids you know slow jerking motion
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:26 PM
NCAA took that one in the chops. Their pride hurts, now.
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:26 PM
+1
/Hey, Knight, what’s up?’d
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:26 PM
I was a bit surprised when All Things Considered devoted a 3/4 minute segment to him yesterday.
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:27 PM
TBL – GREAT interview (seemed more like an interview, not a conversation) with D. Howard. I also loved the clip of that 4th down play, and T-Buck mocking Grbac on the INT return was great too. Best piece in a while!
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:27 PM
???? We threw the ball around last season. 2nd in yards , first in TDs, and first in Y/A. try again.
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:27 PM
I dunno why, I really think Michigan should win that game
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:27 PM
Wait, seriously.. how did Nutt pull that off
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:28 PM
I love this Ryan Harrison kid in the US Open.
And hey a good decision by the NCAA
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:28 PM
Masoli should have won his appeal. good.
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:28 PM
NHL finally approved Kovalchuk’s contract. This one is going to come back and bite the Devils.
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:29 PM
the 2nd part of my comment makes no sense. I’m a moron.
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:29 PM
haha. Yes, that fight was awesome. Dudes getting tossed everywhere.
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:29 PM
This is a pretty cool little feature.
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:30 PM
Okay, so Harrison still has a shot. He’s feeling it right now.
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:30 PM
Jose, your new gravatar fucking sucks.
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:31 PM
Who knew a KU alum had the 6th best game ever
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:32 PM
Look at number one. I’m no Namath fan, but damn…
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:32 PM
To me the ultimate Hater’s going to Hate pic
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:32 PM
Mark Rypien. That was one helluva year he had.
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:33 PM
He is a run first coach there is no denying that. They ran 49 times to 29 throws against Michigan last year.
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:33 PM
I wish the browns all the best
/serious
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:34 PM
I’d bang Colleen Dominguez.
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:35 PM
well, it was raining. and cousins got hurt on the second drive of the game. besides, if my memory serves me correctly, larry caper trucked his way on the winning score. so it made sense to run.
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:35 PM
15 completions. 496 yards. Did that really happen?
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:35 PM
To me the ultimate Hater’s going to Hate pic
In response I submit this.
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:35 PM
Jose, your new gravatar fucking sucks.
Big talk from someone who doesn’t have one.
/chop bustin.
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:37 PM
Goddamn, this rivalry was epic at one time.
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:38 PM
Fetch, anything on Matt Fox, the guy who’s starting tonight?
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:40 PM
had TJ a few years ago. Low 90s, pretty good cutter (supposedly) and a really good curve (supposedly).
But there’s no pitch f/x data on him so I am just going off others’ opinions
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:40 PM
That’s why I wish the browns would be good so it can actually be a real rivalry. 2002 has been the only season when the games mattered for both teams in the past 15 years.
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:47 PM
I’m rooting for OSU to win the title so I can bask in their reflective glory.
/SEC logic
//fuck OSU
September 3rd, 2010 at 3:49 PM
Fetch, anything on Matt Fox, the guy who’s starting tonight?
Maybe the twins should consider callinug up a few pitchers next september.
September 3rd, 2010 at 4:08 PM
Mark Rypien. That was one helluva year he had.
I saw he had that 3rd game ever on that page. I remember this game very clearly. Rypien, Clark, Lohmiller were all starters on my fantasy team. The Redskins got up a ton early. Then Jerry Glanville started a few crazy blitzes on Rypien and left his Corners 1-on-1. So Gibbs got PISSED and ordered bombs the rest of the game on almost every play. And voila. I know this is pathetic that I remember but I might have set a fantasy scoring record that day, it was epic. I was watching Browns-Eagles at old CLE Municipal Stadium and was shitting myself when the score kept going up. Eric Turner took a INT for 6. Browns coughed up a late lead and lost. Faked sick the next school day.
