Leftover bitterness? Note that he banned only New England Patriots . . . but, wait a minute. There is this:

Quote:
Two NFL scouts who work for other teams told ESPN that North Carolina, under Belichick's leadership, offers limited access to all NFL personnel. Clubs are allowed to speak only with Jourdain, and UNC's college relations website says that "scouts will have zero access to coaches or other personnel people," according to the scouts.
My guess is that Belichick does not want NFL scouts to be turning the heads of his young players. Rather, to be concentrated on UNC football. It does seem rather autocratic in this day and age (in a non-political venue, that is. )
