People scalped issues of the free UNC student newspaper commemorating Dean Smith

Posted Feb 9, 2015
On Monday the UNC’s campus newspaper, The Daily Tar Heel, ran an issue with a cover story commemorating legendary basketball coach Dean Smith, who passed away this past weekend. The Daily Tar Heel usually circulates 15,000 papers, but Sunday night decided to print an additional thousand copies of the free paper. “Then we got up this morning and by 10 a.m. people were scalping them in the street.” (USA Today)
