As mentioned Thursday at ACC Kickoff was basically the Bill Belichick show. It was the first chance that a lot of media would have any sort of access to the legendary football coach, and interest was so high that they had to change up protocols for how he was interviewed after the first gathering.
The thing is, he wasn’t the only UNC representative in Charlotte.
Like everyone else, the Tar Heels brought four players with them: quarterback Gio Lopez, wide receiver Jordan Shipp, and defensive backs Thaddeus Dixon and Will Hardy.
While Belichick himself didn’t do any one-on-one interviews, players themselves were available to do so and the assembled media took advantage.
