Overview
- A WRAL investigation reported that nearly 20% of North Carolina football players have been cited for driving and parking offenses.
- The report counted 31 speeding tickets and 10 reckless-driving charges tied to team members over the past year.
- At least one player has been cited four times, including two reckless-driving charges, while another received three tickets with one stop alleged at over 100 mph.
- Longtime professor Mark Peifer reported parking in disabled spots, speeding in parking decks, and cursing at staff, and athletic director Bubba Cunningham apologized in an April email.
- Bill Belichick said the program stresses off-field conduct and has handled matters internally, but there has been no public, program-wide disciplinary change reported.
