Marvin Austin has been dismissed from the North Carolina football team as a result of the team's player agent scandal. Two other players, Greg Little and Robert Quinn, were ruled permanently ineligible by the school's student-athlete reinstatement staff.According to the school, the decision was based on information gathered via a joint investigation with the NCAA.
"It's a sad day when three young men are no longer able to represent their school based on actions they have taken and decisions they have made contrary to NCAA rules," UNC athletic director Dick Baddour said in a prepared statement. "Unfortunately, they made serious mistakes in judgment in accepting extra benefits and then not being truthful with our staff and NCAA representatives."
"As an institution, we must learn from these mistakes and work with the NCAA and others who love the game of football to repair the environment in which they occurred," Baddour said. "College football is a wonderful game, but we need to closely examine and address the agent-related problems. The University of North Carolina pledges to do all it can to do that."
