Details remain scanty at this time, but UNC officials have confirmed the University has received a notice of allegations from the NCAA.

NCAA investigators were on campus following the release of the Wainstein Report last October.

UNC officials have not released details of the letter, including what the exact allegations are. Art Chansky of Chapelboro.com says there are no indications that the football and men’s basketball programs have been charged with specific violations, and that the allegations revolve around a “lack of institutional control,” which could lead to a hefty fine for the university and possibly a probationary period for the entire athletics department.

UNC has 90 days to respond to the notice of allegations, after which the NCAA Committee on Infractions to determine what penalties UNC will receive.

A full statement from UNC Chancellor Carol Folt and Athletics Director Bubba Cunningham is below:

“We take these allegations very seriously, and we will carefully evaluate them to respond within the NCAA’s 90-day deadline. The University will publicly release the NCAA’s notice as soon as possible. The notice is lengthy and must be prepared for public dissemination to ensure we protect privacy rights as required by federal and state law. When that review for redactions is complete, the University will post the notice on the Carolina Commitment website and notify the news media. When we respond to the NCAA’s allegations, we will follow this same release process.

“Consistent with NCAA protocols, the University cannot comment on details of the investigation until it is completed.”
