13 North Carolina Football Players Suspended Following Sneaker Sale Scandal

North Carolina suspended 13 football players for part of the 2018 season on Monday after learning in January that members of the team sold school-issued sneakers in exchange for up to $2,500 in cash.

Of the 13 suspensions, nine players will sit for four games. A pair of players will miss two games and another pair will miss just one contest.

The NCAA has allowed UNC to stagger its suspensions, avoiding a massive hit to the Tar Heels roster at one time. Included in the suspensions is quarterback Chazz Surratt, who threw for 1342 yards and eight touchdowns as a redshirt freshman.
