Just for the record: the trip the UNC basketball team took earlier this week to Washington D.C. to meet President Barack Obama at the White House was not funded by taxpayer dollars.
The trip cost $30,496 and was paid for by the Educational Foundation - or 'Ram's Club,' - which raises money for the athletic program, according to Steve Kirschner, UNC's sports information director.
There were about 50 people in the traveling party, including Chancellor Holden Thorp, Athletic Director Dick Baddour, 17 team members, six team managers, Coach Roy Williams and three assistant coaches, and a handful of other athletic department staffers in ticketing, strength and athletic training and sports information.
Thorp, Baddour, Williams and several others brought their spouses on the trip as well.

I always give consideration
Tue, 08/04/2009 - 23:34 — kajikopI always give consideration to Democrats. Republicans are only The Party of the rich cheapskates and business. Working people who vote Republican are stabbing themselves in the back. wine.

Didn't AG Cooper go too?
Sun, 05/17/2009 - 16:02 — Taxpayer2008Cooper went to get a briefing from Obama. Rams club pay for his expenses too?
The silence is deafening.
Doesn't the Rams Club qualify as a booster?
Fri, 05/15/2009 - 15:37 — DeaconPeachDoesn't the NCAA not allow boosters to pay for things for athletes? Hasn't the NCAA considered a booster paying for an athlete's meal or trip home for a funeral an infraction? Why wouldn't a pleasure trip like this fall under the same sanctions? Seems a bit inequitable IMO...
UNC Trip to DC!
Wed, 05/13/2009 - 17:33 — Clooney1Hey igliigli...I think we ought to get rid of Dodgeball and Hopscotch too! HA! FAIL!
What about Cooper?
Wed, 05/13/2009 - 15:25 — Rume4AmericaThe N&O doesn't seem to want to ask the question: Who paid for AG Roy Cooper's trip. It wasn't in Dome yesterday and it's not in this report. Sounds like the N&O has made its choice for Burr's Senate seat. I wonder if the N&O will gloss over things like it did when it was so excited about Edwards running for president that it decided his affair wasn't important until months later. A tip for Cooper: open up to the media or the N&O will come after you like they did Easley.
I agree - who did pay for
Wed, 05/13/2009 - 15:32 — jesmyopinionI agree - who did pay for the Attorney General to attend? Why was he even there???
Whew!
Wed, 05/13/2009 - 15:23 — FurbishLousewartGood, for a second there I thought we were done talking about the UNC basketball team.
UNC Trip to DC!
Wed, 05/13/2009 - 15:01 — BGR8FULI'm so glad that this trip was funded by the Ram's Club, now maybe people will STOP complaining about it!! You know ... if they would stop and think about it, they might realize what a GREAT change it is to have folks from NC in Washington DC that we can be PROUD of for a change!!! GO HEELS!!!
UNC Trip to DC!
Wed, 05/13/2009 - 16:55 — igliigliNothing to be proud about. UNC's purpose is education, not sports.UNC should get rid of the sports teams and the RAMS Club.
