Posted Nov 17, 2006

After discussing the details in a closed session Thursday, the chairman of UNC's Board of Trustees hopes the contract for incoming football coach Butch Davis will be approved in "a matter of days." "The intent is to get it done as soon as we can,'' Nelson Schwab III said. "We're excited about it and want to move on, so it's just dotting the i's and crossing the t's." (Raleigh News & Observer)
