Report: UNC recruit says Davis told him no loss of bowls
Jul 24, 2010
UNC's most recent football recruit may have peeled the curtain back a bit regarding the Tar Heels' trouble with the NCAA.
Upon committing to Carolina, cornerback Tim Scott tells the Fredericksburg (Va) Freelance Star that Butch Davis assured him the NCAA investigation will not affect UNC's bowl eligibility.
"He said the players just have to pay back what they received," Scott said. "They said it shouldn't affect future recruits."
The question now is whether Davis was merely offering his opinion, or if he was speaking from a position of knowledge -- and there's always the possibility of this amounting to a "recruiting promise." But regardless, it's an interesting quote from a recruit.

Scott later watched a team highlight video at the football facility that included clips of Hall of Fame linebacker Lawrence Taylor, a former Tar Heel, persuading recruits to join the program. Three months after Scott's visit, Taylor was arrested and charged with raping a 16-year-old girl.

RE: Report: UNC recruit says Davis told him no loss of bowls
The following synopsizes my feelings on this story regarding Butch Davis's admission that multiple UNC football players have received improper/illegal monetary benefits:- Posted by cdcd48
In the late 1980s, it was supposedly proven that NC State had a few basketball players ‘illegally’ generate income that probably totaled a few thousand dollars from selling some of their sneakers and free tickets to basketball games. For this ‘major violation’ the University lost its exceptionally popular basketball coach, Athletics Director and Chancellor on our way to NCAA probation despite an unprecedented letter written voluntarily by the head of the NCAA’s investigation exonerating and praising Head Basketball Coach, Jim Valvano.
Yet now…the University of North Carolina could have multiple players accept major gifts and cash from illicit sources that could total over a hundred thousand dollars and the only penalties and discipline will be that the money will get paid back. And, please note that the only money that will get paid back is the money that can be been proven. Imagine how much is out there that will never be proven?

Really???? Please provide a link to Coach Davis admitting anything. Didn't think so.

It's sorta like putting that mafioso Jim Valvano on some pedastal, isn't it? Jim Valvano was one of the biggest crooks to have ever coached the game. BUT the media portrays him to be Ghandi or Mother Theresa because he battled cancer in the public eye. Media hypocrisy has been around for a long, long time. Today you see reporters on ESPN scared straight to ask brutally honest questions to athletes like Tiger Woods, Ben Rothlisberger and all of the other hard nosed hypocrites that play a sport. These reporters are spooked and instructed by their networks to keep mum about those athletes scandalous affairs. It's all about money these days... The only news you see from Jimmy V. is his annual "Don't Give Up" speech on ESPN in December. Dick Vitale is there to praise this man every single year. What rarely isn't talked is Valvano's probation ridden Wolfpack program! Anything that has come out about UNC on the internet I am weary to believe. I will take the NCAA's quotes any day over some sports bloggers on the www.
LOL, What????
If butchie's boys are found to have accepted money/gifts/travel from these agents, then that will OBVIOUSLY equal to MORE MONEY than any of V's kids got from selling their sneakers. Jimmy V knew of their selling their sneakers/game tickets just as much as butchie knew of his boys JET-SETTING around with agents.
Too funny.
I love it though... this one is ready to BURN butchie at the stake, i'm sure.... once we've gotten the official WORD from the good folks at the NCAA.
LOL
thanks monkeyboy!
