UNC dad: Hawkins is reason Burney is suspended

Posted Sep 23, 2010
Tyrone Burney said former UNC player Chris Hawkins is the reason his son got suspended for six games by the NCAA. Burney said his son took trips to Atlanta and Las Vegas with Hawkins, who the NCAA defined as a sports agent after he purchased Georgia wide receiver A.J. Green’s Independence Bowl jersey for $1,000. Green is serving a four-game NCAA suspension. (Raleigh News & Observer)
