What was the verdict on PJ Hairston?

Did anything ever come out of the Heels on Wheels program? Did the No Consistency At All investigate the matter?
I just don't remember any follow-up in the whole situation.

PJ was suspended pending an investigation. However, the violations were so serious that UNC never followed normal procedure and asked the NCAA for reinstatement. It was easier to just tell him that his college career was over than it was to risk having Wheels for Heels, Fats, etc being brought to light by a real investigation.

PJ was essentially ineligible before the season began. But UNC had a problem. They certainly didn't want an investigation as it may implicate previous times, but they needed him to stay in school and finish his Fall semester in good academic standing, otherwise they'd take an APR hit.

So they came up with a story about wanting to appeal for reinstatement (while shills like Vitale & Bilas incorrectly blamed the NCA for dragging its feet) which strung him along & prevented him from bailing early but predictably they never did request an appeal.

Once the semester was over they dropped him like a hot potato, before he could come back for the Spring semester.

PJ be back for Kentucky.
