13 North Carolina players suspended for selling their Air Jordans, QB included

His Airness can't be very proud.

Thirteen players from North Carolina's football team have been suspended at least one game, including the Tar Heels' likely starting quarterback, for selling their school-issued, special-edition Nike Jordan shoes.

The school self-reported the NCAA violation in January, and officially announced suspensions Monday, just weeks away from the Sept. 1 season opener vs. Cal.

Quarterback Chazz Surratt had been in a battle with Nathan Elliott for the starting job. But now Surratt is suspended the first four games of the season. Surratt started seven games last season, and Elliott three.
