GREENVILLE, S.C. — Imagine how good they had it last summer at North Carolina.
Football season-ticket sales were reaching new highs. Bill freaking Belichick was coaching again but, not just in college, in powder blue. The Tar Heels were in the preseason AP Top 25 for their beloved hoops, and the early returns from practice made you believe the ceiling was far higher with NBA draft lottery pick Caleb Wilson in the fold. The rest of the school’s Olympic sports were continuing apace, many NCAA title hopefuls as usual.
