UNC-USC charity basketball exhibition reportedly nixed by NCAA

Welp. The NCAA is at it again.

Yesterday, David Cloninger of The Charleston Post and Courier reported that North Carolina and South Carolina had reached an agreement for a pre-season exhibition. Similar to last year’s four-team Jamboree, the game would be done in the name of charity in order to benefit the victims from Hurricane Florence. The Carolinas were hammered by massive rains and flooding, causing up to an estimated $22 billion in damage.

As I mentioned when I laid out the case for an annual charity game in Carmichael, the NCAA amended the rules that seemingly would make it easier to schedule charity games against Division-I opponents.
