The Academic scandal may have had nothing to do with him, but the improper benefits definitely did. I'm talking 13 kids suspended in 1 season. Butch made his longtime friend and assistant coach take the fall for him and every AD around the country knows that's why he's unofficially blackballed from P5.
I don't want to burst your bubble but nearly every kid who got drafted out of UNC that Butch touched was already pretty highly ranked and none of them were 3 stars And guess what, 4 out of 6 of those kids were bought and paid for. (in bold)
Marvin Austin was A 5star
Robert Quinn 4 star
Quinten Coples 4 star
Giovanni Bernard 4 star
Quantavious Sturdivant 4 star
Greg Little 4 star
Butch's #1 mistake was leaving wasn't leaving UM for the Browns, it was leaving UM and not starting his own cult.
