There was already going to be a bit of a spotlight on the August 27th UNC season opening game against Florida A&M, as Mack Brown enters his fourth season and the squad takes the field with a new quarterback under center and a new defensive coordinator. On Wednesday, the Tar Heels announced it’ll have some extra meaning.

Our season opener vs. FAMU will serve as a celebration of HBCUs.

We’ve also added NC Central to our ‘24 schedule.

With the 8 PM showcase on the ACC Network, which will likely bring a full crowd to Kenan, the Tar Heels are going to use the opportunity to highlight the history of HBCUs and their impact.
