North Carolina's football program reportedly is not currently being externally investigated.
Pablo Torre reported Monday that the College Sports Commission launched an investigation into UNC. That probe was in addition to the school placing general manager Michael Lombardi on administrative leave.
According to On3's Pete Nakos, the CSC has yet to begin an investigation. However, Nakos wrote that the entity created to oversee potential NIL violations has "asked a range of questions about dealings and Michael Lombardi in recent weeks."

UNC placed Lombardi on leave Monday, reportedly linked to a human resources complaint. The university announced an internal investigation into head coach Bill Belichick's longtime confidant.
"As a result of concerns behind allegations that led to the personnel action regarding Michael Lombardi announced on July 27, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, through its Office of University Counsel, is in the process of investigating this matter," the school said in a statement to ESPN's Pete Thamel on Thursday. "Because this involves confidential personnel issues, the University will not comment on the nature of the allegations or discuss personnel information."
Belichick didn't provide any details regarding Lombardi's situation during Thursday's conference.
"We're working through some things," Belichick said, per ESPN's David Hale. "We're at a particular time of the year now where there are certain things that are in play, and certain things that are in play that will happen later in the calendar year. So we're taking it day to day and work through the things that are on the table right now."
UNC athletic director Steve Newmark said the university's investigation has no timetable and declined to address reports of a CSC investigation. He also didn't say if any other staff members are part of the school's probe.
"From our perspective -- and I think there's a recognition across the board -- that the university counsel's office is going to have this go as quickly as possible," Newmark said. "But I think it's also important they do it the right way and they gather all the information they need."
