Fans endure tight times
Posted Aug 5, 2009
Even during a severe economic recession, college football fans in the Carolinas have been reluctant to part with their season tickets. As of Monday, North Carolina was just 100 season tickets short of the second-highest total of all time. Associate athletic director Clint Gwaltney said football has benefited from the momentum the athletics program generated with an NCAA title in men's basketball and a College World Series appearance.
