Former UNC football players relieved, frustrated with NCAA ruling

Posted Mar 13, 2012
Some former UNC football players were frustrated by the NCAA’s ruling Monday, but all were relieved the 21-month investigation was over. The NCAA gave UNC a one-year bowl ban and took away 15 scholarships over a three-year period as a result of the nine major violations. “Finally, the university can move on,” said Green Bay Packers tight end Ryan Taylor, who graduated from UNC in 2010.
