One North Carolina Football Player Received 93 Parking Tickets Under Nine License Plate Numbers

All, Campus Crime, College Football Jason McIntyre June 17th. 2011, 12:40pm

That’s what the student newspaper, the Daily Tar Heel, claims:

one UNC football player accrued 93 parking tickets under nine license plate numbers between October 2007 and August 2009 … The plates in question corresponded to cars including a gray Dodge, a gray Nissan, a black Acura, a black Honda and a green BMW, according to the records … All of the cars included in the records belonged to the student, a parent, a grandparent or a fellow student, according to the release.

The football player was not named, unfortunately, and Butch Davis – how this man hasn’t lost his job is one of the greatest offseason college football mysteries – probably won’t have to address this. Elementary math tells me the unnamed football player racked up four tickets a month in that span, which probably directly correlates to the number of classes said football player attended per month.

I wish I had gone to a college where there were good stories to write about in the paper. I resorted to writing goof stories about Starbucks overtaking the food service and editorials on a terrible basketball program that got me crucified.

I knew some guys in college…the extremely wealthy…that just parked wherever the hell they pleased, and racked up tickets like this.
Maybe he’s not into tattoos, and used his memorabilia sales earnings to cover this.

OK, TBL. I laughed. This was a nice dig.

Clever name.
Seriously though, this has to happen at every school. At least they’re not driving around in black Caddy escalades around lex…
oh.

So UNC has had all the fun of scandals and sanctions without none of the big games or title runs that places like OSU, USC or Auburn (allegedly) have had.
Way to fail!

“In the 2010 fiscal year, 47,092 parking tickets were issued, according to a University release.” Interesting on the surface, but needs to be broken down some.

A buddy I ran track with in high school told me this story a few years back:
He was visiting a friend at Chapel Hill when he saw a BMW parked in a handicap spot with about 10 tickets on the windshield. One of our old teammates, who had gone on to play football for UNC, walked up to the car, tore up the tickets, and drove off.
Pretty sure he’s gotta be the guy…

the real screw job comes when you try to appeal, they charge you $10 to hear the appeal, and then deny it and you still pay the full amount.

Maybe you’ve heard of a couple of guys named Cam Newton and Terrell Pryor and the attention they’ve garnered since this happened.
Butch Davis should send each of them a gift basket for getting the spotlight off of his program.

Haven’t been following Cubs baseball this year have you? The only reason they’ll have a sellout today (if they do) is that the Yankees are in town

I didn’t buy a ticket. It’s Freddy Garcia and Doug Davis. I’ll sit on my deck and listen to the radio for that crap.

I’m wearing flip flops too, CJ. Should be out of here in the next 20 mins or so. I can eat regular food so I’ll probably grill up some hot dogs and deep fry some onion rings.
I’ll save you guys some.

Bring your laptop out and use the MLB.tv, Butters. That’s what I’m going to do. Actually might just use my iPhone since I can’t get the video for the Cubs at home.

it’d be nice if the yankees could actually fill the seats behind homeplate in their own stadium.

Here’s where I admit that I’m stuck in 2004 currently, no laptop and I still use a flip phone (contract is up next month so I’m thinking it’s time to make the jump to having a big boy phone)
