Steve Belichick Resigns As North Carolina Closes Investigation

North Carolina's defensive coordinator Steve Belichick has announced his resignation, effective October 27th when his medical leave ends. Belichick, 39, is the son of head coach Bill Belichick and previously worked with his father at the NFL's Patriots. The university's investigation into the football program's culture and climate concluded that certain actions showed a disregard for Carolina's values, though they were deemed isolated and not systemic.

Meanwhile, the school announced the indefinite suspension of freshman wide receiver Keeyun Chapman, who was arrested for carrying a concealed handgun. Additionally, head coach Bill Belichick's brother Brian has been taking over play-calling duties during the investigation.
