Transcript in UNC probe may belong to Julius Peppers

Posted Aug 13, 2012
A 2001 academic transcript published by The News & Observer two days ago that UNC-Chapel Hill officials insisted was fake may be the real thing, and it may belong to one of the most popular athletes in the university’s history — Julius Peppers. If both transcripts are authentic, the university could be in far deeper trouble with regard to an ongoing academic scandal that is still coming into view. (Raleigh News & Observer)
