Report: UNC bans Jordon Hudson from the football facility
North Carolina apparently do not believe that any publicity is good publicity.
When it comes to Jordon Hudson, the 24-year-old girlfriend/handler/publicity for UNC coach Bill Belichick, recent publicity tracing to her involvement in a disastrous CBS book-tour interview has been bad for everyone. Except perhaps for her.

Via AwfulAnnouncing.com, the latest episode of Pablo Torre Finds Out includes a strong claim. Per Torre, it's been bad enough for North Carolina to prompt the Tar Heels to give Hudson the boot.
Specifically, Hudson reportedly has been banned from the football facility.
'Two sources at the University of North Carolina tell me that there has been a decision that was made last week by the higher-ups inside the athletic department that had hired Bill Belichick to be the highest paid public employee — not just coach in the state of North Carolina at $10 million a year — and that decision was that Jordon Hudson, she is no longer allowed in the football building,' Torre said. 'She is not allowed on the football field.'
Torre predicted we won't "be hearing much from Jordon moving forward.''

Hudson had been largely quiet for the past week or so. However, she already has retweeted a message that criticizes the report that she has been banned from the UNC facility. Here's the message she amplified: "We live in a culture much too rife with lazy conspiratorial thinking so I try to be very careful when speculating about where real nefariousness exists but this one feels like someone is trying to put the screws (no pun intended) to Belichick and Hudson is part of a bigger plot."
It's unclear whether this means Hudson disagrees with the report, or whether she objects to the end result: That she's no longer welcome in a workplace where she was never actually employed.
Torre aded that 'Bill Belichick's family is extraordinarily concerned by what has transpired," and that there is "deep worry for how detrimental Jordon can be for not just North Carolina but Bill's legacy, reputation — everything he has built and worked for over decades."
The family, according to Torre, is also doing their homework on Hudson.
This will now go one of two ways. Either it will all die down. Or it will all get worse. If it's the latter, it could happen quickly.

UNC-Chapel Hill forward Ven-Allen Lubin transfers to NC State
RALEIGH, N.C. (WGHP) — Name, Image and Likeness and the transfer portal have greatly altered the landscape of college basketball in recent years. That reality came to the forefront for Tobacco Road basketball fans earlier this week when University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill forward Ven-Allen Lubin transferred to rival North Carolina State University. NC State's new head coach, ,. 'It's gonna be a reckoning for the ACC': New NC State coach Will Wade says the 'Pack is Back' Lubin was a key contributor for the Tar Heels last season, playing in 37 games and making 20 starts. He averaged 8.7 points per game and 5.3 rebounds per game in an average of 19.6 minutes per contest, . Lubin's role at UNC really crystallized down the stretch; he averaged 15.7 points per game and 11 rebounds during the ACC Tournament and was a key part in the Tar Heels . He arrived at UNC after spending a season at the University of Notre Dame and Vanderbilt University, making the Wolfpack his fourth team in as many seasons. 'We're thrilled to welcome Ven-Allen to our program. Physically, he stands out with a wingspan over seven feet and a strong, powerful frame. Offensively, he creates mismatches—he can score over smaller defenders in the post and has the quickness to drive past bigger ones. He also showed the ability while at Vanderbilt to step out and be a weapon from three-point range and we'll look to build off of that. He's an incredibly efficient scorer, having led his team in field goal percentage each of his first three college seasons. Beyond that, he has a high basketball IQ and will be a tremendous presence in our locker room.' NC State head coach Will Wade This is not the first time a former Tar Heel has donned an NC State jersey.

The guarantee Bill Belichick got from book publicist before cringeworthy CBS interview went off the rails
Bill Belichick's publicist at Simon & Schuster assured the North Carolina football coach that his 'CBS Sunday Morning' interview, which turned out to be a media disaster, would only be a 'puff piece' to promote his new book, 'The Art of Winning,' and that CBS producers assured them the interview would not go beyond the book, according to TMZ. Senior director of publicity David Kass reportedly flew to North Carolina to convince Belichick to commit to the sit-down interview with CBS, as the former NFL coach had concerns that media outlets would try to use his book as a way to ask unrelated questions. 4 Jordon Hudson reportedly interrupted Bill Belichick's interview with CBS, which aired on April 27, 2025, multiple times. YouTube/CBS Advertisement 'I can assure you that the conversation [will be] about the book,' Kass wrote to Belichick in an April 9 email. 'This is a book segment that looks at your life in football and what people can learn from you to achieve success in their own lives.' The day prior, he warned Belichick that CBS would not provide any questions in advance of the interview. Advertisement In another message, Kass told Belichick in writing that he had spoken with a CBS producer 'about sticking to the book and shared that if they do, they'll get a great interview, and he was really open, saying he's not interested in going beyond the book.' 4 Jordon Hudson reportedly interrupted Bill Belichick's interview with CBS, which aired on April 27, 2025, multiple times YouTube/CBS Although Belichick had his doubts, Kass emphasized, 'I wouldn't be this insistent if this wasn't so important to book sales and without risk.' Advertisement He reportedly tried to set up a call with a show producers to 'talk things through' before the actual interview. What happened during the interview would soon turn into a PR nightmare. Belichick's interview with 'CBS Sunday Morning' co-host Tony Dokoupil aired April 27 and showed things going off the rails when his 24-year-old girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, interrupted a question about how the couple met — telling Dokoupil, 'we're not talking about this' as she sat alongside producer Gabriel Falcon. Advertisement Prior to the April 21 taping of the interview, Kass warned Belichick on March 26 'there would likely be one question about what you're up to now.' Belichick, 73, was asked multiple questions about Patriots owner Robert Kraft, who is not mentioned in the book. Dokoupil asked at least two questions about Hudson, whom Belichick refers to as his 'idea mill' and 'creative muse' in the book — but she wouldn't allow it. At one point, Hudson reportedly tried to call Kass as the interview went aray, but she couldn't reach him. After the CBS interview aired, multiple reports said Hudson was trying to control Belichick's career to further her own. 4 Jordon Hudson, Lil Wayne and Bill Belichick at a UNC spring practice. Jordon Hudson / Instagram Belichick released a statement after the fallout and explained that Hudson — who manages his opportunities outside of UNC football — stepped in to refocus the interview on the book. 'Prior to this interview, I clearly communicated with my publicist at Simon & Schuster that any promotional interviews I participated in would agree to focus solely on the contents of the book,' Belichick said. Advertisement 'Unfortunately, that expectation was not honored during the interview. I was surprised when unrelated topics were introduced, and I repeatedly expressed to the reporter, Tony Dokoupil, and the producers that I preferred to keep the conversation centered on the book. After this occurred several times, Jordon, with whom I share both a personal and professional relationship, stepped in to reiterate that point to help refocus the discussion.' 'The final eight-minute segment does not reflect the productive 35-minute conversation we had, which covered a wide range of topics related to my career. Instead, it presents selectively edited clips and stills from just a few minutes of the interview to suggest a false narrative — that Jordon was attempting to control the conversation — which is simply not true.' 4 Bill Belichick and Jordon Hudson attend the 14th Annual NFL Honors at Saenger Theatre on Feb. 6, 2025. Getty Images Journalist Pablo Torre reported that UNC coaches and staff, as well as Belichick's family, are concerned about his relationship with Hudson, a former NCAA champion cheerleader at Bridgewater State University. Advertisement Last month, Belichick and UNC issued a statement and specifically denied Torre's claim that higher-ups at UNC banned Hudson from the team's facility. Kass has yet to publicly address the situation. Simon & Schuster declined to comment to TMZ on Tuesday.

Aurora police use real time information center to boost officer, public safety
The Aurora Police Department has a new resource designed to enhance both officer and community safety: the Real Time Information Center. The Aurora Police Department's Real Time Information Center. CBS Housed inside police headquarters, the center leverages citywide technology like surveillance cameras, drones, license plate readers, and crime data into one centralized hub. From there, trained staff can monitor activity in real time and relay critical updates directly to officers in the field. "We want to make sure that we have officers on the ground. We also have eyes in the sky," said Agent Matthew Longshore. "Our techs can manipulate cameras, zoom in, scan areas, and provide officers with real-time details about suspects, vehicles, or activity tied to a call for service." For instance, if a stolen vehicle triggers a license plate reader, staff can quickly locate the car on nearby cameras, identify any unique features, and pass that intel to officers before they arrive on the scene. They can provide vehicle descriptions, behavior patterns, and even track suspects leaving an area. CBS Colorado's Tori Mason at the Aurora Police Department's Real Time Information Center. CBS "We want to make sure that we have knowledgeable, professional people in here who can do the job effectively. They are the first line of defense for our officers on the road. They're able to see things before the officers can see things," said Longshore. Aurora's upcoming Global Fest will be the largest event to date, and it will be supported by the Real-Time Information Center. Operators will be monitoring cameras throughout the festival grounds and the surrounding area. "We want to make sure that people attending, performing, selling things, our vendors, feel safe and supported," said Longshore. "We've increased our staffing, both seen and unseen. We're going to have our special units out there, some of them in plain clothes." While there have been no specific threats, Longshore says the department is proactively increasing security presence as a precaution. The Aurora Police Department's Real Time Information Center. CBS The department is still expanding the center's capabilities. Six stations are available inside, and staffing levels adjust depending on crime patterns and major events. Data is continuously being analyzed to determine the most effective hours of operation and deployment.
