North Carolina could be without up to a dozen football players this upcoming seasons after the school self-reported NCAA violations for selling university-issued shoes and athletic gear, reports WRAL.
According to the report, UNC reported the violations in February, which were deemed secondary in nature.
"We have high expectations of all of our students, coaches and staff, and we expect everyone to abide by and embrace team and NCAA rules," UNC athletic director Bubba Cunningham said in the statement. "We are disappointed when we fall short, and we always strive to get better.
When we became aware of a situation within the football program, we self-reported what the NCAA deemed to be a secondary violation.
