UNC skips recruit visits for ETSU opener after self-reported violation — 4dUNC will not host unofficial recruiting visits for its home opener against East Tennessee State after self-reporting a recruiting violation, with official visits to continue during the remaining home games as the NCAA process concludes. The situation follows leadership changes and an ongoing internal investigation within the football program, including the resignation of GM Michael Lombardi and scrutiny of coach Bill Belichick and other staff members.

Marcus Bell Pochettino is right that titles need consistent rules, but retroactively handing Spurs the 2017 one after all this time feels like rewriting history.
