UNC Football Under Fire | North Carolina Tar Heel Football News

UNC football is in chaos as a major investigation unfolds over drug allegations involving defensive coordinator Steve Belichick and at least one player. The probe, which began with an HR complaint, has ballooned since Michael Lombardi—brought in to rebuild the program—resigned after being on paid leave since July. Lombardi’s departure leaves head coach Bill Belichick scrambling, especially as Belichick himself has been on medical leave since August, missing key team events. Former staffer Angela Ellington, who left in 2019, was wrongly linked to the scandal when her photo surfaced online; she publicly denied the claims. Despite Lombardi’s exit, UNC says the investigation continues, giving the program time to navigate the storm before facing media scrutiny during their bye week.
