Athletes at North Carolina get to hear instruction from some of the best coaches and teachers in the country on a daily basis. They received an educational experience fitting of that framework Monday night, when they gathered at the Smith Center to listen to former mobster Michael Franzese discuss the dangers of gambling. "It was a great speech, a great message," said senior Rob Wooten, a relief pitcher on the UNC baseball team. ( (Durham Herald-Sun)
