A New Serge in North Carolina Football?

      After a win last night for Butch Davis maybe this bowl game will turn things around for him.  Its been a bad year for Butch.
          In July 2010, the NCAA began investigating possible violations involving improper benefits provided by agents to current players at UNC. In September 2010, the NCAA opened a second prong of its investigation, this time involving possible improper tutor involvement with UNC student-athletes. In response to the investigation, local and national sports columnists penned articles calling for Davis' termination.  Over 13 UNC football players were suspended from the team's season opener, in Atlanta against the LSU Tigers. North Carolina fell behind 30-10 in the game, but rallied and nearly pulled off a victory, eventually losing 30-24. 
         The Tar Heels later fell to ACC rivals Miami, Georgia Tech, Virginia Tech, and NC State, but won their first game since 1981 in Virginia's Scott Stadium and gained their first win ever in FSU's Doak Campbell Stadium when a Dustin Hopkins field goal missed wide right.
        At the end of October 2010, three star players—WR Greg Little, DT Marvin Austin, and DE Robert Quinn—were ruled permanently ineligible after it was discovered they improperly accepted gifts from sports agents. 
       Five other players were found guilty of accepting improper benefits and/or inappropriate academic assistance. The players dismissed are believed to be early first-round to second-round NFL draft picks.
         North Carolina fans responded to the calls for Butch Davis' job by beginning a movement in support of the coach.  A survey of UNC fans reflected strong support for Coach Davis despite the ongoing investigation.  So we will see if this win is a turn around for North Carolina Football and maybe things will get cleaned up in Chapel Hill.
