The NCAA on Thursday denied 2023 eligibility for North Carolina wide receiver Devontez Walker, drawing pointed criticism from UNC and head coach Mack Brown.
"I don't know that I've ever been more disappointed in a person, a group of people, or an institution than I am with the NCAA right now," Brown wrote in a statement. "It's clear that the NCAA is about process and it couldn't care less about the young people it's supposed to be supporting."
Walker, a junior from Charlotte, transferred to North Carolina this offseason from Kent State.
