A bill to make North Carolina and NC State play local football rivalries won't go ahead.
A proposed bill in North Carolina that would have required the Tar Heels and NC State to play the state's Group of Five level schools in football and basketball will not go any further in the legislative process, North Carolina House Speaker Tim Moore
"It's had the hearing it will have," Moore said. "It had a committee hearing. I told them they could hear it in committee, but it won't come to the floor." The plan would have required the two schools to complete a home-and-away series with all three of those Group of Five level teams over six seasons.
Moreover, it sought to ensure that North Carolina and NC State would play each other every season, something they already do as ACC members, but the bill's sponsors also sought to guard against the possibility of UNC potentially leaving the conference at some point in the future.
