As noted in an earlier post here , barring another unexpected happening , the NCAA will be receiving a response from unx in the next 10 days...
The revised allegations were issued to UNC on December 13th. Today is the 80th day of the 90-day window in which UNC has the opportunity to submit a written response. UNC never responded to the first iteration of the NOA in 2015 when the process was halted on the cusp of entering the hearing phase. A year later, UNC submitted a respons to the seconded version, but there have been significant changes since then that make the allegations now mirror more closely the first one. UNC is now going to have to defend itself on the merits of allegations that weren't in the April 2016 ANOA.

There is a third, do not respond. If UNC-CH believes that the NCAA has no jurisdiction and they believe they can prove their case in court that NCAA by-laws do not give the NCAA jurisdiction, there is no point in responding. UNc-cH could let the NCAA COI do whatever they are going to do and then sue the NCAA in court.
I do not think UNC-CH has strong legal footing as the court gives great deference to the private organization and their rules, procedures and processes. It would be a bold and unprecedented move but so has the entire process. Cunningham admitted they cheated but the NCAA has no jurisdiction.
