Agreed, but pls understand the court of public opinion will always be the harshest court. If the initial articles says Butch was the headliner of a major academic scandal that rocked, an otherwise, squeaky clean program, the opinions have already been formed....ESPECIALLY when his exoneration came 2 yrs later. The irrevocable damage was already done. Couple that w/ the rep that he lied to Miami before sneaking off to The NFL? Perception is reality, but saying he was fired from UNC b/c of cheating is disingenuous & not the whole story. It’s a great storyline for fans who can’t get over the fact that he left & have an unending grudge w/ the past (just like w former players who opt out, transfer, or decommit).
Fact is, he was fired b/c Ole Roy & their precious b-ball program (that McCants spilled his guts on, but they (UNC) cited him as a bitter, former player who’s mentally unstable) could not be caught up in the scandal.
