Another person was identified in the scandal surrounding UNC's football team in 2010. Patrick Mitchell Jones, 39, appeared in court on Monday for allegedly offering players money to sign with agent and personal friend Tom Watson. Jones was released after posting bond, according to The Associated Press.

"Jones stated this was the only way Watson could compete with the bigger athlete agents and their companies," A.H. Jones (no relation), special agent to the Secretary of State's office, wrote in his affidavit.

Watson remains the ringleader of the operation that attempted to buy the future business of high profile UNC football players through $24,000 total in payments; as the investigation heads into its third year, some of his helpers are being found and prosecuted. Former player tutor Jennifer Thompson has already been indicted for handing money to Little from Watson.

Jones, a real estate agent from Georgia, was guilty of the same thing. The government charged him with providing $725 to Quinn so he'd eventually sign with Watson. He told investigators he was transferring money on behalf of Watson. Watson would either wire or mail funds to Jones, the AP reported.

Orange County district attorney Jim Woodall said there will be more indictments, hinting that Watson's reach extended beyond Jones and Thompson.

According to the AP, Watson, Thompson, and Jones all face Class 1 Felonies for violating state law and a maximum sentence of 15 months and/or $25,000 in fines.

Current NFL players involved in the scandal were WR Greg Little, DT Marvin Austin, and DE Robert Quinn. All were ruled ineligible to play that season; Quinn was ruled permanently ineligible but still was drafted in the first round of the 2011 draft by the St. Louis Rams, the AP reported. Of the three, Quinn has had the biggest impact. The defensive linemen has had 21 sacks in the last three years, according to ESPN.
