Bunting's charisma is not enough

Posted Sep 29, 2006

The man oozes charisma. He has the gift to make you see what he sees and want what he wants. And what he wants is for folks to feel as strongly about his school as he does. Spend 10 minutes with Bunting, a former North Carolina and NFL linebacker, and you want to put on a helmet and pads. Bunting would make a wonderful fundraiser. He's the kind of man you want your college-aged kids around, as long as you don't insist that they be members of a competitive football team. (Charlotte Observer)
