...UNC-CH just self reported academic infractions regarding its football team to the NCAA, according to sources close to the situation. This is said to involve 6 or more defensive players on the football team.
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. --- North Carolina has submitted academic infractions regarding its football team to the NCAA, according to sources close to the situation. The University has announced a press conference Thursday for 7:30 p.m.
Officials from North Carolina uncovered the academic issues in its own review, pertaining to a tutor, and self-reported the findings to the NCAA. Sources report the various players involved were relegated to the scout team at practice on Wednesday.
North Carolina canceled the media viewing portion of Thursday afternoon's practice session, as well as a scheduled interview session with head coach Butch Davis. A school official announced UNC will hold a press conference on Thursday at 7:30 p.m. In attendance will be chancellor Holden Thorp, athletic director Dick Baddour, and football coach Butch Davis.
These academic findings are a new element to the ongoing NCAA investigation.
UNC received an interview notice form on June 21 from the NCAA, which requested to interview student-athletes. Inside Carolina broke the story on July 15 that the investigation centered on possible improper contact with sports agents.
Telephone and financial release forms were requested for the student-athletes involved, as well as text message printouts for the past year. The interviews were conducted on July 12-13.
The NCAA returned to UNC for a second round of interviews on Aug 4-5.

-they're hearing 6-12 players (including defensive starters and NFL prospects)
-Butch did not speak to media today
-if minor this could mean 30% of games missed
-if major who knows
-also said it was telling that Thorpe would be in attendance tonight (that implies the potential for the university to handle this academically -- kicked out)
-he said when this investigation began that they heard you never want the NCAA on campus, potential for other things to be uncovered (Blake and agent relations and this academic stuff)
-he implied it sounded like UNC may have uncovered this player/tutor stuff through emails initially revolving around the player/agent/party stuff
