The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has placed general manager Michael Lombardi on paid administrative leave, effective immediately. This decision comes as the school prepares to start practice this week.
Investigation Details
The investigation stems from a complaint filed by a former staffer to the human resources department at UNC. The school has announced that it will continue conducting its investigation into the UNC general manager.
Lombardi was part of a package deal at North Carolina when the school hired Bill Belichick to lead the football program. He took the general manager position, where he is being paid $1.5 million to handle the building of Belichick’s football team.
The football program has been garnering headlines for all the wrong reasons since Belichick’s hiring. The expectations have been drastically tempered since the day he was hired, and now the program is dealing with another controversy related to a staffer.
