Ty Lawson pleaded guilty to underage drinking putting an end to the legal escapade from last June.
From ACC Now:
North Carolina point guard Ty Lawson pleaded guilty today on a charge of driving after consuming alcohol under age.
Lawson had already completed 26 hours of community service, an alcohol assessment and a four-page report on the impact of drinking and driving as part of a plea agreement. Prosecutors dismissed a driving while license revoked charge and a noise ordinance violation.
No word on what action Roy intends to take over this misstep. I tend to think it will be handled privately.
I am currently executing projects on the honey do list which followed projects on the real job to do list which is to say blogging has been and will continue to be light for the next few days. Also, there really is not much going on. UNC has had a fairly uneventful training camp so far which is good. Stability of positions and few injuries is perfectly fine with me, even if it leaves me picking through the scraps to find something to write on like these stories here:

The next time the NCAA whines about the cost involved in putting proper flooring down for the NCAA Tournament or cannot possibly defend the abject stupidity of the officiating at any given point or is willing to flog another athlete for a minor benefit that hurts absolutely no one I want to you also remember that NCAA President Myles Brand is making almost a million dollars a year.
$935,000 to be exact and also has access to a million dollar per year charter service. According to the Indianopolis Star, Brand received a 4% raise and is one of eight NCAA employees that bring in over $275,000 annually. Nice work if you can get it I guess.
I understand he has a complex job but at the same time seeing the head of an tax exempt organization raking in that kind of money when they were unable to put a decent floor down during the NCAA opening rounds is a little ridiculous.
Hat tip: Wizard of Odds
Former Tar Heel cross country/track star Shalane Flanagan won bronze in the Olympic 10,000 meters and also broke the American record with a time of 30:22.22. Just for some perspective on that, my personal best while running cross country at UNC Greensboro 15 years ago was 27:40 for 8000 meters. Granted that was a fairly pedestrian time among runners at the D1 level but still a decent clip. On the pace Flanagan was running in this race she crossed the 8000 meters mark in a little over 24 minutes and still had another 1.2 miles to run. That is impressive.
Then again would you expect anything less from a Tar Heel?
