Mack Brown: Friday nights are for high school, not ACC football

Posted Jan 22, 2020
The ACC began scheduling football games on Friday nights a few seasons ago – something that hasn’t sat well with many coaches across the conference. On Wednesday, UNC coach Mack Brown made it known that he doesn’t want to see the Tar Heels play on Fridays. "Friday night is for high school football, and we’ve always believed that." (CBS 17)
