Butch Davis' firing will deliver major financial blow to UNC
Posted Jul 28, 2011
Irreparable damage has been done to UNC's image. Long thought as a basketball school with high academic integrity, the university is now the basketball school that tried at football and dirtied itself all the while. Originally intended to be the bastion of things to come for the program, the Blue Zone is now a scarlet letter on the university; an albatross around its neck. No, Davis will never see the $73 million check. But UNC will surely feel the pain.
