UNC Chancellor Holden Thorp said the university will recoup money it’s owed if an audit finds two former fundraisers misused university money.

The fundraisers, Matt Kupec, the university’s top fundraiser, and Tami Hansbrough, mother of former UNC basketball star Tyler Hansbrough, have resigned because of allegations they took questionable fund raising trips on the university's dime.

Complicating matters is the two are involved in a romantic relationship. The questions surrounding the trips center around the destinations coincided with where Hansbrough's son, Ben, was playing basektball for Notre Dame.

Thorp confirmed some of the questionable trips were made on university planes made available to chancellors and vice chancellors on business.
