Let me start this article with a statement.
I’m 100% here for any and all UNC hit pieces. I love seeing them fail, and I love watching the media kick them while they’re down (figuratively speaking of course).
The problem is, over the past 30+ years of being a diehard Wolfpack fan, I’ve very rarely ever seen it. Despite down years, local media is always kind of soft on UNC’s shortcomings.
When Matt Doherty was tanking in the early 2000s, it took a LONG time before the media really piled on. And when UNC was caught dead-to-rights for hosting fake classes, the reporting was pretty factual and bland from the sports pages.
