High-res version available at videos.newsobserver.com. The Tar Heels rally from an 11-point deficit with 5 minutes to play to force overtime against Clemson on Feb. 10, 2008.
@tomatoface12 well how far up the chain do you have to go to say the university did it? The president? lol. Blake was a university employee getting paid by a pro agent to send top players to him so the agent could give them illegal benefits to get them to sign with him. That's much more severe in the eyes of the NCAA than a rogue booster.
@tron81 Blake is a coach, NOT the university. You said that that UNC paid them. I take things literally. But Blake never paid him. If you wanted to call him a cheater, that's fine because he is and he has no right calling himself a Tarheel, but he didn't pay them. So, once again, get your facts straight.
@tomatoface12 UNC DL coach Blake secretly took tens of thousands of dollars from the same agent involved with illegal benefits to those players. I guess you believe Blake story that it was for his son to go to private school? Blake made several hundred thousand dollar as coach. Why does he need charity money? lol
@tron81 Oh, and there has been no investigation on Ellington. In fact, the only place I saw anything about was on some NC State boards, which is of course an extremely reliable source. Nice try though...
@tron81 You dumb shit. The players did that on their own, the school had nothing to do with it. Those three players are retarded, and I don't like them. The 'tutoring scandal' was the tutor correcting grammar mistakes, not writing their fucking papers. Deunta Williams was suspended 4 games for sleeping on someone's couch and not paying them. I read the report, you should too.
@tomatoface12 umm haven't you been paying attention to the NCAA investigating UNC for setting up players with a pro agent to get illegal benefits and hiring a tutor to write their papers for them? Also, UNC BB player Wayne Ellington's father received a $400,000 rental house he couldn't afford that happened to be owned by a *UNC booster*.
@tron81 When have we ever paid our players? We get it—you guys can't win for shit at our house, and you're only decent at Littlejohn. No need to get angry over it...
@tron81 CLEMSON will one day beat us in chapel hill but not this year.

@abatch12 I don't give a crap about Duke. I pull for Clemson. Coach K is a jerk, but at least Duke doesn't pay players like UNC.
