CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) -Seattle Seahawks defensive tackle Kentwan Balmer says he hasn’t spoken with the NCAA about an investigation at North Carolina.
Former college teammate Cam Thomas has said that Balmer paid for Thomas and current Tar Heel Marvin Austin to travel to California to train last summer. In an interview with The Associated Press, the former first-round draft pick wouldn’t say whether he paid for the trip and adds that he hasn’t even been contacted by the NCAA.
The NCAA is looking at whether Austin, also a defensive tackle, and receiver Greg Little received improper benefits from agents. Thomas is now a rookie with the San Diego Chargers.
Balmer says it’s unfair that Austin and Thomas have faced so much speculation, saying both players are like family.
