Covering Carolina sports beyond just men's basketball and football — with the most complete women's basketball coverage
UNC freshman Caleb Wilson has signed a shoe endorsement contract with New Balance. Wilson confirmed the deal on X (formerly Twitter) on Monday morning by quote-tweeting a report by ESPN’s Shams Charania that he had signed a multi-year, multi-million-dollar endorsement deal with the company with the words “NB Family!!!.”
When Moses Cabrera arrived in Chapel Hill, players quickly realized that conditioning would look different from past years. North Carolina’s head strength and conditioning coach came with a résumé unlike most in college football. Cabrera spent more than a decade with the New England Patriots, helping them win three Super Bowls and earning a reputation for building physically and mentally tough teams.
For the first time as professionals, Drake Maye and Sam Howell lined up against each other Saturday night, turning a routine preseason matchup into a reunion of former Carolina quarterbacks on a night that Tez Walker had a breakout game.
Questions remain about just how strong Bill Belichick’s first North Carolina team will be — and how high its potential ceiling could climb.
North Carolina defensive coordinator Steve Belichick’s two-year, $2.7 million contract makes him the football program’s highest-paid assistant coach but does not appear to have any provision for him to succeed Coach Bill Belichick, should his father leave the program.
North Carolina athletics director Bubba Cunningham laid out on Friday how the Tar Heels will distribute their revenue-sharing pool among four sports, including doling out a larger slice to men’s basketball than the standard split, and creating a women’s basketball payroll of over $1 million.
The long-running tradition of a weekly Tar Heel Sports Network radio show for football and men’s basketball — typically featuring the head coach and carrying his name — will change this season.
North Carolina men’s basketball roster is finalized for next season with the arrival of 6–6 Montenegrin wing Luka Bogavac this week. The roster for new-look Tar Heels, officially announced by UNC on Thursday, features nine single-digit jersey numbers spread across a lineup heavy on new faces — three freshmen, six transfers, one international pickup and a junior varsity alum — anchored by just five with UNC experience.
It took about 75 days after he committed to Carolina, but Montenegrin wing Luca Bogavac is finally in Chapel Hill.
CHAPEL HILL — Bill Belichick says he doesn’t yet have all the answers on North Carolina’s roster — and he’s not expecting them to come at once.
Covering the Tar Heels has taken me to many cities, but last week I traded press passes for a passport. No Tar Heel Tribune stories appeared last week for a very good reason — I was on a long-overdue weeklong vacation with my wife, Jean.
The cost of cheering on the Tar Heels at Kenan Stadium has skyrocketed — and no school in the top 100 programs has seen a bigger jump.
After many elements of North Carolina’s women’s basketball nonconference schedule trickled out in the last few weeks, it all became official on Tuesday, and it includes matchups against a Tar Heel legend, two Las Vegas games and a chance for another title in a tropical venue.
CHAPEL HILL — When linebacker Khmori House transferred from Washington to North Carolina, he wasn’t just changing coasts — he was continuing a relationship with a coach who had already earned his trust.
CHAPEL HILL — When Bill Belichick took over as the head coach of North Carolina football, the most significant shift wasn’t just philosophical — it was physical. The Tar Heels’ roster now bears little resemblance to last season’s team, with over 70 new players joining the program and many from last year’s squad opting to transfer out.
