SEATTLE (AP) – Seattle Seahawks defensive tackle Kentwan Balmer says he hasn't spoken with the NCAA about an investigation at North Carolina.
Former college teammate Cam Thomas has said that Balmer paid for Thomas and current Tar Heel Marvin Austin to travel to California to train last summer. In an interview with The Associated Press, the former first-round draft pick wouldn't say whether he paid for the trip and adds that he hasn't even been contacted by the NCAA.
The NCAA is looking at whether Austin, also a defensive tackle, and receiver Greg Little received improper benefits from agents. Thomas is now a rookie with the San Diego Chargers.
Balmer says it's unfair that Austin and Thomas have faced so much speculation, saying both players are like family

Somebody needs to tell Balmer that horse is already out of the barn, so he might as well face the music.
Devil,
Mixed metaphors are a sure sign that you're guilty of Posting While Impaired.
HE HAD A PREEXISTING RELATIONSHIP THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THIS
i've always found that if you post your comment in all caps, it makes it more believable.
All caps? Only for ego maniacs from UNC that have to lie to themselves as well as the rest of the world.
um, pre existing relationships not include having a pro pay your way to the west coast and then pay for you to train in a pro facility. thats the issue, not that MA went on vacation to california.
The reason the NCAA has not contacted him is this is a non issue. I could care less if he gave them 1st class seats, and fed them caviar. It was a pre existing relationship, the NCAA has already stated that is not something they can do a thing about. NEXT LIE???!!!???!!!
UNC-CH: The most corrupt athletics department in the nation. Congratulations!
UNC-Cheat should be ashamed of themselves.
The NCAA investigation has spread to UNC's basketball program. Anyone remember the "agent-gate" from Roy's team last year? Hmmmmm?
