The North Carolina Tar Heels have made the first substitution of the Carrier Classic, and it's a doozy - James Worthy for Michael Jordan. Coach Roy Williams said Friday that Worthy will replace Jordan as the Tar Heels' honorary captain for the Carrier Classic against Michigan State on the flight deck of the USS Carl Vinson on Nov. 11. Williams said Jordan has a personal commitment he can't get out of.
