UNC Football: Charlotte out, WCU in

When Charlotte was unable to travel to Chapel Hill for their game scheduled on September 19th, Tar Heels’ AD Bubba Cunningham scrambled to see if they could get a game in for this past weekend, a scheduled off weekend. Cunningham had a lot of factors to weigh, including the cost of playing someone, the benefit of cramming someone in at the last minute versus the rust that would build up on the football team by not playing after their eventual thrashing of Syracuse. Ultimately, while teams were game to come, Cunningham admitted that they were trying to extract as much as they could, while at the same time UNC was still under the “no crowd” order from the state of North Carolina.
