Sources: NCAA questions four of UNC's top players

Posted Jul 17, 2010
According to sources, senior Marvin Austin is at the center of the inquiry, and the NCAA was especially interested in a trip taken by the senior defensive tackle to visit former teammate Kentwan Balmer in Miami. Austin, a potential first-round pick in next year's NFL draft, communicated about his trip to Miami via a Twitter account. Austin's Twitter account has since been shut down. (Fayetteville Observer)
