The NCAA is currently investigating the University of North Carolina (UNC) and its head football coach, Mack Brown, regarding the eligibility of a transfer wide receiver. The NCAA is looking into whether or not the transfer student-athlete met the necessary academic requirements to be eligible to play.
The transfer wide receiver in question is Dyami Brown, who transferred from West Virginia University to UNC in 2019. Brown was a highly sought-after recruit coming out of high school and was expected to make an immediate impact on the Tar Heels’ offense.
However, the NCAA is now investigating whether or not Brown met the necessary academic requirements to be eligible to play. Specifically, the NCAA is looking into whether or not Brown completed enough credits at West Virginia to be eligible to play at UNC.
If the NCAA finds that Brown did not meet the necessary academic requirements, he could be ruled ineligible for the 2020 season. This would be a huge blow to UNC, as Brown was expected to be a major contributor for the Tar Heels this season.
The NCAA has yet to make a decision on Brown’s eligibility, but it is clear that they are taking this investigation seriously. It is also clear that Mack Brown and UNC are doing everything they can to ensure that Brown meets all of the necessary academic requirements.
Only time will tell if Brown will be eligible to play this season, but one thing is certain: the NCAA is taking this investigation very seriously and will make sure that all of the necessary academic requirements are met before making a final decision.
