Tar Heels Self-Imposed Recruiting Penalty | North Carolina Tar Heel Football News

North Carolina Tar Heels football just made a bold move: no unofficial visits this Saturday against East Tennessee State — a self-imposed penalty tied to a past recruiting violation they’ve already resolved with the NCAA. It’s not about current investigations (like the one into defensive coordinator Steve Belichick), but it’s a clear signal of accountability — and it’s hitting at a bad time. With staff changes, compliance headaches, and recruiting being the lifeblood of college football, this move adds fuel to the fire of instability. While the future class isn’t doomed, the narrative is getting louder — and ultimately, the head coach bears responsibility for managing the program amid all this noise. Performance on the field? That’s the only way to drown out the distractions. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
