Busy Day In Chapel Hill: Searcy Back, Davis Not Resigning

Yet...

North Carolina safety Da'Norris Searcy has been cleared to return for the game against East Carolina after missing three games while the NCAA is investigating, pretty much, everything going on at UNC...

Searcy started all 13 games last season, but the school has held him out this year until his eligibility was figured out.

Tailback Shaun Draughn was cleared to return against Georgia Tech, while the NCAA announced a six-game suspension for cornerback Kendric Burney and a four-game suspension for safety Deunta Williams last week.

Nine other players still remain in limbo including Marvin Austin and Robert Quinn.

Item 2: Butch Davis says he has no plans to resign considering what's going on...
Here are his extended remarks...

Back on Thursday, Yahoo!Sports released a story that showed links between sports agent Gary Wichard and former UNC coach John Blake.

The report said that over the past three years six wire transfers were made from Wichard to Blake. Blake also carried a credit card tied to Wichard’s agency, Pro Tect Management.

Attorneys for Blake say their client received loans from Wichard, but there was never an arrangement to direct players to Wichard once they left for the NFL.

Pardon the HQ while it clears it's throat on that one...

Tim Hall and Erin Summers have an excellent read filling in the details...

Summers also discloses that the NCAA has now joined the school's investigation into the school's football program...

Yeah... this won't end well...
