Bill Belichick says UNC Football's biggest offseason win is in how the Tar Heels work. A year into his college experiment, Belichick said the 2026 Tar Heels barely resemble the group that stumbled to 4-8 in his debut season and at times struggled just to function in practice. The difference, he says, starts with experience and extends to a revamped culture. (USA Today)
