There hadn’t been any updates from the Carolina football program following the shutdown of athletics across campus after 37 athletes tested positive for COVID-19.

ABC 11 got a chance to speak with Mack Brown about not only the state of Carolina football, but football across the ACC. To start with the bad news: yes, there were players on the football team that tested positive for COVID-19.
