UNCC gets home & home w/Tarheels

[HuntersvilleHerd]

Charlotte announced a home & home football series with the UNC Tarheels in 2024 & 2025. The UNCC home game is scheduled for their on campus stadium, not the Panthers Stadium.

They already have a home & home scheduled with Duke. Nice in-state OOC series for the 49ers.

All about recruiting

Must be nice to have in-state programs that don't treat yours like an FCS program.

Tar Heels have a ton of class...Ears...not so much

 

[jocktalker]

Right. Tar Heels guilty of the biggest academic scandal in my lifetime but they have a ton of class. Maybe you should choose your role models a little more carefully in the future

UNC gets an appearance in another part of their state around which it can build alumni events and such. And, yes, anybody who does not get that this game will be moved to BOA Stadium and be before 80% UNC fans, doesn't follow football. UNCC gets a "step up" game and make sweet $$. UNC does a favor for a branch campus, it is not, like WVU is relative to us and all the state colleges, in a war with the other colleges in the state to crush out all form of higher ed other than itself, for which it uses football to make people think of it as "us". And its not basketball.

Yeah this is all about recruiting for Duke. Cutcliffe has established a real pipeline of talent from the Charlotte area. Cheater Hill knows it and this is a strategic response. My guess, the chappa hay-a game moves to Panthers field and the Duke game will play at the Charlotte field.

If they move it they better keep the prices low....UNC vs South Carolina was not a great example of UNCheats ability to draw in CLT.
