Haydn ‘Fats’ Thomas, whose provision of rental cars in violation of NCAA rules led to the permanent ineligibility of former UNC basketball player P.J. Hairston, has been sentenced to prison for Medicaid fraud.
(actually, rumors were thick and furious that Thomas had been "friends" and "associates" with far more than the two players mentioned in this article and that free useage of luxury/exotic cars was a widely acknowledged perk of starting at unc. That athletics at unc were clean, scholarly and scandal-less was a lie their athletic department told so often that even people involved in the rule breaking and cover-ups began to believe.)
