## Resource

UNC Tar Heels Ditch Rivalry Games for Strategic Conference Focus The North Carolina Tar Heels have canceled their upcoming home-and-home series against South Carolina, citing conference scheduling changes. The ACC and SEC are both moving to nine-game conference schedules, and the ACC wants its teams to play at least ten games against other Power Four schools each season. This shift comes as UNC enters a new era under head coach Bill Belichick, following a challenging 2022 season with a 4-8 record and significant roster turnover. The team aims to refocus on conference play and Power Four matchups, prioritizing strategic moves over rivalry games. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
