Posted Jul 2, 2024
Armando Bacot, who said he made “$2-million-plus” at North Carolina, made a startling admission during an appearance this week on Theo Pinson’s “Run Your Race” podcast: He grew up a Duke fan and hated Carolina. “I’ll never admit it, but I’ll admit it now: I grew up a Duke fan — hated Carolina,” Bacot said on the podcast. "I was a diehard Duke fan."
