Davis a good sell

Posted Jan 24, 2007

Butch Davis is good for business at the University of North Carolina. The Tar Heels' recently hired head football coach hasn't played a game or held a practice session, but Davis' impact at the ticket window is already reaping rewards. Since the official introduction of Davis as John Bunting's successor on Nov. 27, the school has sold more than 3,000 season tickets for its six-game 2007 home schedule. (Raleigh News & Observer)
