UNC withholds another; Smith out for season

North Carolina will hold fullback Devon Ramsay out of today's game with Clemson as part of the ongoing NCAA investigation into possible agent extra benefits and academic misconduct, the school announced.

The school also announced that Jonathan Smith, a reserve safety who has been withheld from games so far this season, will miss the rest of the 2010 season. He will have one year of eligibility remaining.

Ramsay's situation means nine players won't play today for North Carolina whose status - publicly at least - is uncertain. Those players are Michael McAdoo, Marvin Austin, Greg Little, Linwan Euwell, Brian Gupton, Robert Quinn, Ryan Houston, Charles Brown and Ramsay.

A 10th player, cornerback Kendric Burney, has two more games to serve (including today's) on a six-game NCAA suspension. Deunta Williams, who served a four-game NCAA suspension, returns to the field today.

“It is unfortunate that we have to hold out an additional student-athlete, but as we have stated, we are still in the process of gathering information related to the investigation,” athletic director Dick Baddour said in a statement. “Yesterday (Friday), we learned information that requires us to hold him out of competition.

“I caution against making judgments as it will take time to process Devon’s situation, just as it has for other student-athletes.”

Hey tarheels, see what you get for $2M/year?

Cut Davis loose before he completely destroys your program.

BEFORE? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. The greatest part is that he is still around and spinning the situation as he is "the fix."

Yes I did graduate from there said...

Devil, why do you care if he completely destroys our program? You should want him to stay since a forfeit is the only way you beat the Heels in football. Johnny White was spinning through the Clemson defense today.

Every time I see an opposing fan talking about firing Davis, I know they are scared to death that he's building us a powerhouse program at UNC.

Why would he be uneducated??? And you are??? It's clear that after another win, the Butch haters (opposing teams fans) want them to fire Butch. They can't stand it that this program is STILL kicking a** while playing the second team guys!!!

we're not even a football school, and yet with our best defensive players on the sidelines, we beat Clemson. Their basketball is 0-for-life in chapel hill, now their football team is following suit. lol

VACATE ALL WINS for the past 3 years. The Carolina way! LOL!

Yep, UNC is a powerhouse...and all you had to do was sell your soul to get there.

Enjoy each win, but just remember what I said when the NCAA calls down the thunder. Then when the Sec. of State's office turns up all the criminal activities Blake was involved in you can think about how great it was beating Rutgers, ECU and Clemson.


Have a great, delusional day.
