"On March 12, 2012, the
NCAA issued formal
sanctions against
North Carolina football: a postseason ban for 2012, reductions of 15 scholarships, and 3 years of probation. The
NCAA found
North Carolina guilty of multiple infractions, including
academic fraud and failure to monitor the
football program."
North Carolina waited four months to learn whether the NCAA would be satisfied with self-imposed sanctions on the football program after an investigation into improper benefits and academic misconduct.
