Because all good news comes just before 9pm on a Friday night, ESPN’s Darren Rovell and Nick DePaula published a story stemming out of the story earlier in the week that North Carolina Tar Heels football had suspended players for selling shoes given to them as student athletes. As you can guess since you’re reading this here and/or you already saw the headline on the page, Marquette Golden Eagles has launched an investigation into the sales of shoes issued to players.
North Carolina didn’t suspend their players until after an internal investigation, and because the Tar Heels are nice and because everyone knows the NCAA likes self-reporting, here’s what happened, according to ESPN:
A source told ESPN that the retailer told UNC it had bought shoes from other schools, including Michigan, Marquette and California.
