Report: UNC recruit says Davis told him no loss of bowls

Posted Jul 25, 2010
UNC's most recent football recruit may have peeled the curtain back a bit regarding the Tar Heels' trouble with the NCAA. Upon committing to Carolina, cornerback Tim Scott tells the Fredericksburg (Va) Freelance Star that Butch Davis assured him the NCAA investigation will not affect UNC's bowl eligibility. "He said the players just have to pay back what they received," Scott said. "They said it shouldn't affect future recruits." (WRAL Sports Fan)
