CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) More than 100 former North Carolina men’s basketball and women’s soccer players are joining a group-licensing program allowing them to profit from their playing days with the Tar Heels.
The school announced an agreement Tuesday with marketing and licensing agency The Brandr Group (TBG), allowing for merchandising licensed products such as school-branded apparel featuring those athletes’ names and jersey numbers after they have left school. Athletes in the group would share in profits from merchandising pursued by TBG.
Men’s basketball players to join include current NBA player Danny Green, Marvin Williams, Tyler Hansbrough, Sean May and new head men’s basketball coach Hubert Davis. For women’s soccer, the list includes World Cup champions and Olympic gold medalists Mia Hamm and Heather O’Reilly.
Dazz Newsome: Wide Receiver North Carolina Tar Heels 2021 NFL Draft Scouting Report
Scouting report for NFL Draft prospect Dazz Newsome
Author:
Overview:
A part of possibly the most underrated wide receiver group in all of college football, North Carolina slot receiver Dazz Newsome is the type of big play threat who can make plays in a variety of areas. With plus short area explosiveness, Newsome is an easy projection to the slot on the next level. Newsome is a YAC monster who has the ability to make a ton of players miss on the second and third levels. Despite a smaller frame, he does some more than admirable work at the catch point coming down with some difficult contested catch opportunities. Whether it is in the air or after the catch, Newsome is a very competitive football player in all areas who handles contact surprisingly well. He has some strong hands and has shown the talent to win at the highest point. More space player than complete wide receiver right now, Newsome

Diving into the Scouting Lenz with UNC running back, Michael Carter
The son of a former professional football player overseas, Carter was actually born in Japan. Watching his father, Tony, play before he could walk, it was almost a foregone conclusion that young Michael would fall in love with the pigskin just like his father had. In 2001, Carter would move back to the United States with his family.
The former three-star running back recruit from the state of Florida, Carter would end up committing to the University of North Carolina. Carter would be productive right away as a Tar Heel, racking up nine touchdowns and 659 total yards as a true freshman. He would not quite break out in 2018 as a broken wrist in August slowed down his progress.
While it may have been all fun and games for some, the UNC Chancellor says there will be an investigation in coordination with local authorities to pursue consequences.
In the past day, the two university leaders said that they consulted with deans of the university as well as school representatives to remain flexible in [their] modes of instruction.
The school stressed that in-person instruction will continue on Monday, as planned; however, due to the concern, the university will allow faculty to teach virtually and return to in-person learning on Feb. 17, following wellness days on Feb. 15-16.
