ACC fails to live up to great expectations after expansion

Posted Jul 26, 2006

John Bunting remains charismatic and he still loves his school, but I’m not sure his school loves him back. The Tar Heels went 4-4 in the conference last season and 5-6 overall. For them, anything above .500 feels like major success. When you look in hindsight at what Mack Brown accomplished at North Carolina, he did a better job there than he has at Texas. Bunting, meanwhile, would be a great fundraiser. (Charlotte Observer)
