Chris Mason Shares UNC’s Surprising Reactions to Belichick’s Strict Media Rules 🏈

Chris Mason joined Toucher & Hardy after covering Bill Belichick’s first practices at UNC. He described the tight media restrictions Belichick has put in place, which have shocked local reporters used to open access under Mack Brown. While there’s local optimism around Belichick, national expectations are low, and Mason says the real risk for UNC isn’t failure, but irrelevance. If the football team underwhelms, attention could quickly shift back to basketball, leaving Belichick an expensive, forgotten figure on the sidelines.
