Dilemma In Chapel Hill

I have not taken the gloves off to throw punches at the North Carolina situation with either the papers written for athletes or for the agent paying athletes. Honestly I think both those situations go on every where to some degree.

I think this , that it is the responsibility of each person whether it is academic or athletic scholarship that once you sign the dotted line you owe that school a tremendous about of graditude. If you go to Carolina on a Morehead scholarship or athletic you owe it to the school to be a good citizen.

I have no problem what so ever that if any person on scholarship if they break the law revoke their free ride. There would be no need for a coach to decide a disciplinary action because they would be dismissed from school and if you are not in school you can't play for that school.

Carolina's case involves no laws being broken but NCAA rules violations. To me that is the same. Yahoo sports reported last week that they had bank statements from the agent in question paid to the Carolina coach. It seems everyday the hole gets deeper for North Carolina.

The only way to stop this agent business is the NFL must tell these guys if you want to represent a player in our league you must not violate any NCAA rules. Any violation relating to the NCAA we will pull your license to work with us.

How much did Butch Davis know? When ever the dust settles in Chapel Hill we may still not know how involved Davis has been from the get go. Davis drives the football bus in Chapel Hill and is responsible for the end result. I know this that it is hard for the bus driver to know what is going on in the last seat of the bus.

I really don't see any way that Butch Davis is coach at Carolina in 2011. The best scenario for Carolina would be to finish 4-8 this year and that's an easy firing. If Carolina finishes 8-4 that would be a great coaching job under extremely rough conditions this season. What happens to Davis then?
