The University of North Carolina has instituted a new system to keep better track of Tar Heel football players. If a football player is going to leave campus for more than 24 hours he is required to sign-out before he leaves. Additionally, an assistant football coach must sign the sheet, and then it must be approved by an academic advisor.

Now, more than three months before the start of the 2011 season, top NFL draft prospect Quinton Coples was sighted at an NFL draft party in Washington D.C. The NCAA was back in Chapel Hill last week investigating this latest incident. It is not yet known if Coples followed the new sign-out procedure. Additionally, Coples must account for all expenses on his trip to D.C. Stay tuned as more information becomes known.
