Marvin Austin: 'I messed up a great situation' at UNC

Posted Jan 22, 2011
Marvin Austin did express genuine regret for his role in UNC’s first NCAA investigation since 1961. “I messed up a great situation,” Austin said. “It was my fault.” The former UNC defensive tackle was in Orlando, preparing to play in Saturday's East-West Shrine Bowl looking to win over pro scouts wondering what a 6-2, 312-pound defensive lineman who hasn’t played a down of football in more than a year can do.
