Thorp: Sanctions show UNC accepts blame for NCAA violations

Posted Sep 23, 2011
UNC chancellor Holden Thorp told the school’s Board of Trustees today that the sanctions UNC self-imposed on its football program show that the school is accepting responsibility for NCAA violations but also give athletes every opportunity for success. Thorp and Board of Trustees chair Wade Hargrove also reiterated their support for the football program in the wake of an NCAA investigation in its 16th month and the July firing of coach Butch Davis.
