Scoggins: Gophers pay price for ducking Heels...in football
Posted Oct 17, 2012
Gophers athletic director Norwood Teague graduated from the University of North Carolina, so he is well aware of his alma mater's reputation as a basketball school. Apparently, Teague and Jerry Kill operate under the assumption that the Tar Heels suddenly are a football powerhouse, too. The Gophers backed out of their home-and-home series with North Carolina in 2013-14 in favor of trying to find a lesser opponent.
