Tar Heels Hit Recruiting Penalty | North Carolina Tar Heel Football News

North Carolina’s football team is taking a hit on the recruiting front for their home opener, barred from hosting unofficial visits against East Tennessee State due to a self-reported recruiting violation last season — a penalty separate from the bigger scandal that led to their GM’s resignation. While the Tar Heels miss out on showcasing Kenan Stadium’s electric game-day energy to recruits, they’re pivoting to host official visits in the next five home games, a solution approved by the NCAA. Despite off-field drama, the team remains laser-focused on winning, viewing this as a manageable setback rather than a crippling blow.
