UNC WR Dwight Jones ruled ineligible after party promo
Posted Dec 20, 2011
UNC senior wide receiver Dwight Jones committed a secondary NCAA violation when he allowed his name and photo to be used to promote an event in his hometown of Burlington, N.C. NCAA rules prevent student-athletes from using their name, photo or likeness to promote a for-profit entity. UNC learned of the secondary violation and has declared Jones ineligible. Carolina has applied to the NCAA for his reinstatement.
