Tar Heels to be mum after practice starts

Posted Aug 1, 2011
UNC's football team, with new interim head coach Everett Withers at the helm, will open fall practice as scheduled. But don't expect to hear anything from them publicly for about six days after that. Although Friday's first workout will be open to the media for about 45 minutes, and several players will be available afterward, UNC's practices will then be closed and the Tar Heels will not be available to talk to the media until the following Thursday.
