John Bunting wants to keep schedule's national flavor

Posted Jun 9, 2005

In light of the Pac-10's recent decision to add a ninth game to its conference football schedule, North Carolina coach John Bunting was asked at his Wednesday press conference if he thought the expanded ACC should consider doing the same. That's a consideration," Bunting said, but added that he wants the Tar Heels to keep the "national" flavor of its nonconference games as long as the Tar Heels are "smart" about it.
