What happened: The university said the inquiry will continue and could lead to corrective action. WRAL reported lawyers are asking whether Steve Belichick used drugs at work or supplied them to at least one player, along with questions about alleged sexual relationships involving players and football staff.
Why it matters: The departure of Michael Lombardi removes a longtime Bill Belichick associate during the season. Steve Belichick, North Carolina's defensive coordinator, remains on medical leave.
By the numbers: Lombardi resigned in the second season of a three-year contract carrying a $1.5 million annual salary.
What to watch: Attention now turns to potential university action and whether Steve Belichick returns from medical leave.
