UNC Football Under Investigation By College Sports Commission

North Carolina football is under investigation by the College Sports Commission over potential issues tied to revenue-sharing, third‑party NIL deals or roster limits — specifics haven’t been disclosed.
Team GM Michael Lombardi was placed on paid administrative leave Monday; UNC gave no reason and it’s unclear if this is connected to the probe.
The program has high‑profile NFL ties (Bill Belichick hired in Dec 2024 and Lombardi joined him), with the staff publicly saying they aim to run UNC like an NFL “33rd team.”
