CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) -- The committee searching for North Carolina's next athletic director is still receiving interest from new candidates and whittling others from the list.

The 13-member committee held its fourth meeting Tuesday afternoon, with nearly all of the 2 1/2-hour meeting coming in closed session. Chairman Lowry Caudill says the meeting followed a similar pattern to last week, with the committee sifting through a substantial list and culling some names. But Caudill says the committee is also starting "to move the names around" to see which candidates are rising to the top of the list at this early stage.

Caudill says he thinks the committee could learn more about a specific timetable for hiring Dick Baddour's replacement at next Wednesday's meeting.
