Outgoing UNC Athletic Director Bubba Cunningham stopped by 97.9 The Hill for an extended chat with Aaron Keck - looking back on 15 successful years as AD, but also reflecting on the state of college sports.
Here's what he had to say about money in modern college sports:
“UNC and Ole Miss were staying at the same place, and the Rebels had just had their send-off shortly before. You know what they say: ‘Keep your friends close…’”
On day three of Michael Koh’s Omaha diaries, he discusses converging fan bases and teams:
“We talk about next play mentality all the time. You have to have a really short memory in sports and move on to the next pitch, good or bad. Our guys have completely bought into that.”

A go-ahead RBI single from Gavin Gallaher in the seventh and a massive three-run home run from Colin Hynek in the eighth helped UNC overcome a 2-1 deficit and beat Ole Miss 6-2 in their first game at the Men’s College World Series in Omaha Friday night.
