UNC football GM Michael Lombardi placed on paid leave amid HR probe
The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill placed football general manager Michael Lombardi on paid administrative leave as it investigates a human-resources complaint, and his attorney said he will cooperate with the probe. University officials announced the leave on July 27, citing standard personnel procedures and providing no further details. Head coach Bill Belichick said the program was reallocating duties while the investigation proceeds.
The Office of University Counsel is conducting the inquiry, and Chancellor Lee Roberts pledged corrective action if warranted. Belichick later offered limited comment, noting the matter is being handled day to day.
