There’s a lot to be excited about locally, given that the three Group of 5 schools, Charlotte, ECU, and App State, all made new hires last off-season, to go along with the arrival of Bill Belichick at UNC, and Clemson’s emergence as a national title contender once again. All of that sets up for the Carolinas to enjoy a fun college football season, for virtually every fan base.
