North Carolina without 12 players against Georgia Tech

North Carolina will be helped by the return of tailback Shaun Draughn for its home opener today against Georgia Tech, but 12 other Tar Heels will remain sidelined due to the ongoing NCAA investigation into its football program.

Williams are the headliners on defense who remain off the field, while top receiver Greg Little and running back Ryan Houston will also miss the game against the Yellow Jackets.
Thirteen players missed the opener against LSU, with only Draughn eligible to return thus far.
Linebackers Bruce Carter and Quan Sturdivant were cleared the night before the season opener, and the school was hoping to get an idea during its bye week of who else would be able to return, along with a timetable.
The NCAA will continue to look into agent-related benefits and possible academic misconduct involving a tutor at the school.
Brandon Manumaleuna(notes) is a good bet to be on time for the Chicago Colts jersey
Bears’ team meetings tonight in Dallas.
That is because the veteran missed the Bears’ meetings at the team hotel last Saturday night, a move that cost him a $22,000 fine from the organization. ESPN Chicago first reported the news. Manumaleuna didn’t miss any time in the season opener against the Detroit Lions the next day.
“It was a mistake,” Manumaleuna said.
The veteran doesn’t have a history of issues. In fact, the primary reason the Bears signed him is because offensive coordinator Mike Martz knew what an asset he could be after working with him previously in St. Louis. Manumaleuna signed a five-year contract at the start of free agency that includes $6.1 million guaranteed.
“Do you think I would talk about something that happens internally anyway?” Cowboys jersey
coach Lovie Smith said. “No, we don't talk about things that we handle internally. If there's something I think you guys need to know, I'll let you know right away.”
A source indicated Manumaleuna intends to appeal the fine with help from the players association. The fine represented more than one-third of his check for the week. With a base salary for 2010 of $1.055 million, Manumaleuna's weekly check is a little more than $62,000.
