Tar Heels get no relief vs. Pirates

Posted Oct 2, 2010

The Tar Heels were hoping to get back safety Deunta Williams and cornerback Kendric Burney -- who were suspended four and six games, respectively, for violating the NCAA agent benefits and preferential treatment rules -- but the NCAA denied the school's appeal of each on Friday.
