John Swofford, Jim Delany still intertwined decades after attending UNC together

But this is nothing new for two men whose pursuits – be they for power, stability or their own identities – date back four decades, when they each were athletes at the University of North Carolina. They graduated a year apart in the early 1970s, though they rarely interacted. (Washington Post)
