Butch Davis tackles players' legal troubles
Posted Aug 15, 2009
Butch Davis cleaned up a Miami football program rife with legal troubles in the 1990s. He has no intention of letting UNC's reputation drop to that level. Since the end of spring practice, running back Anthony Elzy has been charged with marijuana possession, defensive end Donte Paige-Moss with simple assault and former guard Kevin Bryant with assault on a female. With three court dates looming this month for those individuals, Davis spoke about protecting the Tar Heels' image.
