A six-month Sports Illustrated/CBS News investigation into the criminal backgrounds of the rosters of SI’s 2010 football preseason top 25 revealed that 7 percent of the players have police records. That's 1 in 14.

Re: unc Football Full of Criminals
I hope Duke does background checks although my Duke Blue glasses say we are fine. I would rather lose every game than field criminals to win. This is college, damnit.

Re: unc Football Full of Criminals
Getting parking tickets doesn't make a person a criminal, but $13,000 (395 citations) over 3 1/2 years is excessive.

No doubt my tax dollars helped to pay some of these tickets.

Here's a video that deals with the problems being investigated over in Chapel Hill: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OrMz3k1r2vg The music is good enough to dance to!
This is a good explanation of why the parking ticket information is important. http://www.wralsportsfan.com/voices/blogpost/9739188/

Re: unc Football Full of Criminals
UW's Venoy Overton is single-handedly attempting to give UNC a run for the money in the criminals category:
http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/h ... ton_a.html
He is charged with being a pimp. Overton is the same guy charged during the season with sexual assualt/statutory rape but the authorities opted not to prosecute due to lack of evidence and/or conflicting stories from a witness (the accusers friend stated they both willingly participated in the sexual activity) so he only faced charges of providing alcohol to minors. As bad as things are at Carolina at least the players are not having sex with 16 year olds or pimping their girlfriends.
UW alums are plenty embarrassed according to sports talk radio.

Re: unc Football Full of Criminals
The NCAA sent UNC a 42 page notice, which outlines infractions is six areas:

Jennifer Wiley, the tutor who wrote papers for some players, also paid some of the parking tickets. A hearing is scheduled for October 28.

Re: unc Football Full of Criminals
It's incredible that they can implicate so many people surrounding Butch but not Butch himself. They are rewarding him for being completely out of touch with his own program. And making themselves look foolish in the process.

How in the **** does an "academic support center tutor" have $1789 in disposable income to pay "parking expenses" for a student-athlete?

Maybe the tutor will finally talk some now that she's gotten a letter too. She paid off tickets with Butch's dough.Devil in the Blue Dress wrote:The most important part of the investigation: follow the money.
