Roy Williams: No reason to believe NCAA probe has ties to hoops

Posted Oct 14, 2010
UNC basketball coach Roy Williams said Thursday he has no reason to believe the NCAA probe into agent benefits and possible misconduct into the football program has any ties to his team. Asked if all of his players have been investigated, and cleared, Williams said: “I know that my players and our academic girl, Jen Townsend, that their emails have been checked. I know that they’ve told me we’re in great shape." (Raleigh News & Observer)
