UNC investigating possible NCAA violation over party flier

Posted Dec 19, 2011
UNC is looking into whether Dwight Jones, the Tar Heels’ leading receiver, violated NCAA rules by appearing on a flier promoting a New Year’s Eve birthday party in his honor at a Burlington club. NCAA rules prohibit athletes from appearing in advertisements that promote off-campus businesses or revenue-generating events. Jones appears prominently on the flier for the party, which will cost $10 to enter – $20 for VIP treatment, according to the flier. (Raleigh News & Observer)
