According to the Associated Press, UNC football player, Michael McAdoo, is seeking unspecified damages and reinstatement into the NCAA. The NCAA declared McAdoo permanently ineligible for academic misconduct.
The defensive end is seeking damages from the school and the NCAA. He is accusing both of “gross negligence” in ruling him ineligible based on inaccurate information.
Per the AP:
McAdoo was one of seven players forced to sit out all of last season amid the NCAA’s investigation into improper benefits and
academic misconduct. The lawsuit seeks to compel chancellor Holden Thorp to reinstate McAdoo while also preventing the NCAA from
interfering in the process. A hearing on that request is scheduled for July 15.
McAdoo’s attorneys filed the lawsuit Friday in Durham County Superior Court, according to reports.
