Overview
- UNC announced Thursday that Steve Belichick will resign from his defensive coordinator post effective October 27, when his current medical leave ends.
- The university said its independent investigation found actions that “demonstrated a disregard for Carolina’s values and standards of conduct” but characterized those actions as isolated and called the probe resolved.
- General manager Michael Lombardi had resigned earlier in September after being placed on administrative leave and was part of the same review that expanded beyond a front-office personnel complaint.
- Local reporting said investigators questioned people about possible drug use by Steve Belichick and about alleged sexual relationships involving staff and players, but UNC has not publicly substantiated those specific claims.
- UNC suspended freshman receiver Keeyun Chapman after a handgun-related arrest, said current staff will carry out coaching duties while the program implements corrective measures, and pledged to evaluate any credible new information if it arises.
