225 years of Tar Heels: Stuart Scott

Posted Apr 26, 2019
When the late Stuart Scott was growing up a Tar Heel fan in Winston-Salem, he would cry any time the men’s basketball team would lose. The 1987 UNC graduate carried that love for Carolina to ESPN, where he spent 21 years as one of the company’s most beloved personalities. Scott also displayed his love for UNC every time he returned to Chapel Hill. (UNC.edu)
