CHAPEL HILL- Twelve players from North Carolina won't play in the 18th-ranked
Tar Heels' opener against No. 21 LSU in Atlanta on Saturday amid an
ongoing NCAA investigation.
The school said Friday that six players - defensive ends Robert
Quinn and Michael McAdoo, cornerbacks Kendric Burney and Charles
Brown, receiver Greg Little and suspended defensive tackle Marvin
Austin - were declared ineligible for the opener for "violating
school and/or NCAA rules."
Another six players - tailbacks Shaun Draughn and Ryan Houston;
safeties Brian Gupton, Da'Norris Searcy and Jonathan Smith; and
defensive end Linwan Euwell - are being held out of the game during
the ongoing investigation.
The school said three more players are still in jeopardy of
missing the game, though the school is working with the NCAA to
determine their status.
