What the AP story – or any other dispatch from any other reporter covering the game – didn’t contain was a comment from any UNC player. That’s because North Carolina refused to let the assembled media talk to players after this home loss.

While the loss will sting, the amount of money the Tar Heels paid to play the Dukes will be even worse. For a chance to break a UNC record on the road, JMU received a payout of $500,000 to embarrass UNC on its home field, per a contract obtained by the USA TODAY Network.

Brown was emotional following the conclusion of Saturday's game. As he and his players pooled into the locker room, he allegedly revealed that he would step away from his coaching post, according to Inside Carolina.
