From the Charlotte Observer (10/26/11): The Charlotte Observer, The (Raleigh) News and Observer and six other N.C. media organizations have requested the University of North Carolina to formally demand that the NCAA make public Friday's hearing on nine alleged major violations committed by the UNC football program.
UNC Chancellor Holden Thorp, athletics director Dick Baddour and other officials are scheduled to represent the university at the NCAA Committee on Infractions’ hearing in Indianapolis.
The NCAA delivered its Notice of Allegations to the university in June, charging the school with nine major violations involving academic misconduct and improper benefits received by football players.
After Friday’s closed meeting, the NCAA will issue a ruling on an unspecified date concerning penalties for North Carolina.
The NCAA and the location of Friday’s hearing are outside the jurisdiction of North Carolina courts and beyond the reach of North Carolina’s Open Meetings Law.
