Bubba Cunningham Q&A: UNC Football’s Bet on Bill Belichick
Posted Dec 16, 2024
In landing Bill Belichick with a five-year contract worth $50 million, in creating a front-office staff to manage the UNC roster, the Tar Heels are betting on the NFL legend. "We're taking a risk," UNC Athletics Directory Bubba Cunningham said. "We're investing more in football with the ambition that the return is going to significantly outweigh the investment."
