UNC chancellor to discuss football investigation findings this week
Summary

UNC Chancellor Lee Roberts is set to address the ongoing investigation into the football program during a media availability at the UNC Board of Trustees meeting on Thursday. This will mark his first public remarks since late July when general manager Michael Lombardi was placed on paid administrative leave. The investigation resulted in the resignations of Lombardi and defensive coordinator Steve Belichick, following allegations of drug use and misconduct within the program. An external attorney stated that the findings showed isolated incidents that did not reflect a systemic failure. Corrective actions have been identified, and the school is working to address the issues as the Tar Heels move forward with their season.
