Well, Jay Smith is especially loathsome, and there are certainly some extremely pro-football UNC faculty (my father was an example) but football seems to be an especially prime target for a significant percentage of the faculty. Not that those people really have the power to keep UNC football down (to CFord's point, UNC manages to do that all by itself), but there was also some truth to Crum's statement that UNC wanted to be Harvard five days a week and Oklahoma on Saturday@Calheel wrote: "...there are also plenty of Professor Jay Smith’s out there who want to keep UNC football down."
Doubtful.
