UNC football under investigation for hazing
http://sports.yahoo.com/news/north-carol...18340.html
Quote:The University of North Carolina confirmed to Yahoo Sports on Tuesday that it is investigating a training camp incident between football players that escalated from what multiple sources described as an alleged hazing into a group assault of a teammate.
"We are aware of an incident involving members of the UNC football team that took place earlier this month. We take this allegation seriously and the University is conducting a thorough review," Kevin Best, North Carolina's assistant athletic director for communications, said in a statement to Yahoo Sports.
Quote:During the first week of August, redshirt freshman walk-on wide receiver Jackson Boyer was involved in an alleged physical altercation with multiple teammates in his room at the Aloft hotel in Chapel Hill where the team was staying during fall camp, sources told Yahoo Sports. The incident allegedly left Boyer with a concussion, sources said.
Quote:There has been no public indication of team discipline for the as-yet unnamed players involved in the incident. The Tar Heels, coming off a 7-6 season in 2013 and entering their third year under Larry Fedora, open the 2014 campaign Saturday at home against Liberty. North Carolina was banned from postseason play in Fedora's first year, 2012, due to NCAA violations committed under previous coach Butch Davis, and remains on probation. The NCAA recently said it has reopened its investigation of the school for alleged academic irregularities involving both football and basketball players and dating back many years.

Hopefully the athlete is recovering from the concussion. Putting aside his injuries for the moment, that's exactly what UNC needed at the moment out of their athletic programs.

Twitter is hilarious
Quote:Owen Good @owengood 5h
UNC football again. Family embarrassment of the ACC.
Quote:Mark Ennis @MarkEnnis
UNC football, never that good, but definitely never boring.
Quote:Casey @HoHumHokie
I guess its not a mess until the NCAA does something about it. Hazing = 3 credit hours
Quote:Ray @HokieProp
shocker since they run such a clean program!

Quote:Rose @FFBRose
Dude, I heard they made this kid read a book, no joke.

All class, that university.

Alot of conflicting info floating around about this, the player involved hasn't missed any time & has practiced with no restrictions as far as I know.

Whether this is true or false, we can ALL Agree that this NOT what UNC needs right now, to be explaining this instead of Talking sports.

True but some reports are saying it was a fight between two players over a female, so until something mire concrete comes out it mostly speculation

RE: UNC football under investigation for hazing
Both starting corners & two reserves from the secondary are suspended for the Liberty game, I assume they are involved in this incident
