After an NCAA investigation surrounding a post-NFL-draft party and whether his eligibility had been compromised, North Carolina defensive lineman Quinton Coples has been cleared of any wrongdoing and will retain his eligibility to play this year. 

This is a big win for the Tar Heels as their program has had a few black eyes recently.  Coples is a monster pass rusher and should help bolster a defense that lost a lot to the NFL.
