UNC associate head coach Blake resigns
NCAA Football Betting Lines
09/05/2010 - Chapel Hill, NC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - North Carolina associate head football coach John Blake has resigned, effective immediately, amid an NCAA investigation into possible violations.
It had previously been reported by the Raleigh News & Observer that Blake is a close friend of Gary Wichard, the agent for former Tar Heel defensive lineman Kentwan Balmer, a first-round pick of the 49ers in 2008.
The paper reported that Balmer paid for current UNC defensive lineman Marvin Austin and former Tar Heel lineman Cam Thomas to attend a California training facility, used by Wichard clients, in 2009.
Blake was already caught up in a previous NCAA investigation into whether current members of the football team, including Austin, attended a reputed party thrown by an agent in Miami that has swept up players at other universities, including Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina.
Blake said in a statement released Sunday that his presence has become a distraction to his family and to North Carolina.
"Knowing John as I have over the years, it is clear that this was a difficult decision for him to make," said UNC head coach Butch Davis in a statement. "I know how much John loves the players, coaching and the game of football. I am grateful for all of his hard work and effort in helping build this program. As difficult as this situation is, I have accepted his resignation."
The NCAA's investigation into the Tar Heels' football program has expanded to include possible academic misconduct involving a former undergraduate tutor and student-athletes on the football team.
UNC was without 13 players for its season-opening loss to LSU on Saturday. Seven of those were for violations of school or NCAA rules and six others were kept out while the investigation continues into possible violations of North Carolina law involving sports agents.
The school said in its release that Blake had a contract that paid an annual base salary of $240,000 and would have expired in June 2011. He will receive $74,500, about the amount of money he would have been paid had he finished the football season.
