UNC football holds "invite-a-professor-to-practice" day

Posted Oct 9, 2013
Larry Fedora on Wednesday addressed his team after practice, like he usually does. Then he walked over to a group of UNC professors, who had gathered to watch the Tar Heels’ practice as part of the football team’s “invite a professor to practice” day. This has become something of a tradition, Fedora said. Each player has an opportunity to invite one of their professors to watch UNC practice. (Raleigh News & Observer)
