North Carolina says the girlfriend of football coach Bill Belichick is “welcome” at its football facilities amid a report that 24-year-old Jordon Hudson had been banned.

"While Jordon Hudson is not an employee at the University or Carolina Athletics, she is welcome to the Carolina Football facilities," the school said in the statement. "Jordon will continue to manage all activities related to Coach Belichick's personal brand outside of his responsibilities for Carolina Football and the University."

The University of North Carolina released a statement denying the reported ban on Bill Belichick's girlfriend, Jordon Hudson.
