UNC's Thorp too late in decision

Posted Sep 18, 2012
But based on Thorp’s words and how he’s handled UNC’s never-ending multi-faceted crisis, he probably should have made this decision a while ago. In addition, if held to the same standard by the UNC Board of Trustees and UNC system that he held former football coach Butch Davis, Thorp would have been fired already rather than walking away on his own terms.
