I first asked UNC about this last spring when I was with the Tampa Bay Times. Took a lot to get UNC's contract with Skadden, and they said details were privileged. Wouldn't tell us at The Athletic a week and a half ago, either. https://t.co/kjO4fNxUQG
UNC hired a law firm to explore leaving the ACC. What is "Carolina Blue Matter" and is it more than North Carolina officials doing their due diligence on college conference realignment? @BrendanRMarks joined me & @giglio_OG to discuss. https://t.co/mGL7WQ252Q https://t.co/wK9j9iOROo
A great line from UNC AD Bubba Cunningham about the "Carolina Blue matter" code name. (Also, shout out to @Brett_McMurphy) https://t.co/vga8w1hIkx https://t.co/0B9occSjD1
The University of North Carolina (UNC) is facing a lawsuit filed by North Carolina attorney McKenzie Law, alleging violations of the state's public records law. The lawsuit stems from UNC's decision to hire a law firm to explore the possibility of leaving the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) without disclosing full legal bills related to this initiative, referred to as the 'Carolina Blue Matter.' UNC's athletic director, Bubba Cunningham, has publicly addressed the school's efforts regarding conference realignment, marking the first time the university has commented on the matter since reports emerged. The controversy has raised questions about transparency and the university's compliance with public records regulations.
