Michael McAdoo wants eligibility restored

Posted Apr 1, 2011
The mother of former UNC football player Michael McAdoo, who was banned by the NCAA in November, is trying to get her son's eligibility restored. McAdoo is one of seven Tar Heels players who missed the entire 2010 season as a result of the NCAA's investigation of academic misconduct and impermissible benefits at the school. His mother, Janai Shelton, said the NCAA's decision was not fair or correct in McAdoo's case. (Charlotte Observer)
