UNC's Withers questions Wolfpack's 'academic environment'
Posted Nov 2, 2011
North Carolina interim football coach Everett Withers added some heat to Saturday’s game against N.C. State with some verbal jabs at the Wolfpack in a radio interview. Withers, who has openly embraced the importance of the rivalry to the Tar Heels, questioned the “academic environment” at N.C. State and the motivation of the Wolfpack in games that aren’t against the Tar Heels.
