Bubba Cunningham: "We had a call last night with our student-athletes about the importance of (temporarily suspending athletics). Because it is not about you, it is about your teammates, it is about your parents, it is about your coaches, it is about the people in your community. We understand it may not affect you as much, but we need to do the right thing." (Inside Carolina)
