It’s never been more important for schools to be good at football. And ultimately, that's why North Carolina brought in Bill Belichick — to overhaul the culture in Chapel Hill. http://dlvr.it/TMpnWZ

You misspelled “to educate and expand the minds of their students”.

There was never any reason for schools to be good at football until it became a multi billion $ business. Colleges should be good at teaching and be reasonably priced so their students can afford it.

🙄 My UNC alum father’s ashes have kicked up into a whirlwind at this. Being good at football is NOT what his beloved flagship university was about. And his university, a center of higher learning, is under attack by forces of ignorance (MAGA and the Republican legislature)

As a UNC alum, I agree. We're bad at football and should remain so! /s

Not sure I understand your /s — my point is whether UNC is good or bad at football shouldn’t matter to a flagship state university’s mission. (I care about the wellbeing of student athletes, I just think NCAA Div 1 is minor leagues with University brands.

There’s a reason I went to Davidson College instead of UNC 👩🏼🏫

I fundamentally disagree. The football program is essentially advertising for the school. At a time where smaller universities are closing and international students - who bring in major dollars to the university - are not coming to the US, appealing to new students is a critical mission.

And the football program at a major university like UNC is essentially self-funding. It's not a choice between another PhD and a weight lifting room. That weight lifting room is already paid for. Keeping that PhD around requires students paying tuition.

Important to who, though?

Also, it helps normalize marrying someone 40 years your junior. Yay, UNC?

They’re not married but also she’s an adult so maybe we can normalize minding our own business

Yeeeeeah, Nah. I'm good calling out creepsville when I see it, man. You can go back to pretending that because she's an adult, it's normal if you want... I mean maybe don't do it publicly, cause that shit's full-on defender-of-the-pedobear-white-knight material. You do you, though.

No, thank YOU, friend. Folks of our age with adult daughters have quite enough to keep us awake without this.

Am I a North Carolina Tar Heel football fan? No. Have I ever been a North Carolina Tar Heel football fan? Again, no. Will I watch tonight’s #NCUTCU #tarheels #hornedfrogs game? Hell yes. I am morbidly fascinated by the Belichick experiment. @tarheels.bsky.social

I agree. I mean, now that we've decided we're against education, schools have to be good at something, amiright?

What a stupid thing to say. It’s NEVER “important” for a SCHOOL to be good at sports.

ItIt’s about North Carolina hiring Bill Belichick to transform their football program. With college football’s growing stakes, schools need to excel, and Belichick’s expertise is seen as a game-changer for Chapel Hill’s culture.
