UNC's Thorp: Butch Davis didn't know of violations

Posted Nov 4, 2010
UNC Chapel Hill Chancellor Holden Thorp said this morning that while he still has questions about why Butch Davis didn't know more about questionable behavior by his football players, the football coach didn't play a role in anything under investigation by the NCAA. "We don't have any evidence that Coach Davis knew about or took part in any of the things that happened," Thorp said Thursday. (Raleigh News & Observer)
