Par is $1 million for Roy Williams’ cancer fundraising golf tournament

There’s an item in the silent auction before the Coaches vs. Cancer Golf Invitational for the “UNC Basketball Courtside Experience.” Technically, the auction winner will get a seat on UNC’s bench, and one behind it, for a game next season.
