John Blake hopeful leaving NCAA hearing

Posted Oct 28, 2011
Former UNC associate head football coach John Blake left the NCAA Committee on Infractions hearing at 4:50 p.m. today hoping that his defense on three major violations was successful. Blake was asked if his reputation was restored. “All I can do is hope and pray,” Blake responded. The NCAA has the power to impose a “show cause order” with restrictions that would make it difficult for Blake to coach again at an NCAA school. (Raleigh News & Observer)
