North Carolina football general manager Michael Lombardi has been placed on paid administrative leave effective immediately, the Tar Heels announced Monday morning.
“As is standard procedure with personnel matters, leadership, staff, and student-athletes are prohibited from addressing this topic further, and has no reflection on its merits,” the university said in its statement. Pete Thamel of ESPN subsequently reported that the leave followed a “human resources complaint filed by a former UNC front office employee.”
