The University of North Carolina named former player Hakeem Nicks and two others in a press release on Thursday for providing improper benefits to football players at the school.
The benefits Nicks gave totaled $3,300, which included “gifts of cash and jewelry and impermissible assistance with lodging, travel, transportation and entertainment expenses.”
The school discovered the violations as part of a separate investigation at UNC looking into possible academic fraud and players accepting benefits from agents.
This entire depressing post was a good reminder why I like the NFL so much more than college football.
