The relationship between Bill Belichick and his girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, has become a rather significant headline in recent weeks thanks to an uncomfortable, viral CBS interview the head coach did to promote his new book. A new report on Friday suggests the university is tired of the story.
In his latest episode of Pablo Torre Finds Out, Pablo Torre reported North Carolina had banned Hudson from football facilities. The 24-year-old former cheerleader has become a public and active part of Belichick's life in the last six months, but according to Torre's sources, the Tar Heels don't want her on football team property.
"Two sources at the University of North Carolina tell me that there has been a decision, it was made last week, by the higher-ups inside the athletic department that have hired Bill Belichick to be the highest-paid public employee, not just coach in the state of North Carolina at $10 million a year," Torre said. "And that decision was that Jordon Hudson is no longer allowed in the football building. She is not allowed on the football field. Quote, 'Don't think you'll be hearing much from Jordon moving forward.'"

As former New England Patriot and Belichick pupil Julian Edelman pointed recently it's quite something to see the longtime head coach creating off-field distractions for his team. His mantra has long been that whatever happens outside the football facilities cannot be afforded attention and anybody who caused such distractions was usually on their way out the door in short order. Yet, it seems Belichick's personal life has become a distraction so large that his bosses reportedly banned his girlfriend from his place of work.
The Tar Heels' season will begin on September 1 against TCU—plenty of time for even more to emerge around this story.
