It will be an interesting year for the ACC on the heels of a positive showing in the 2024 college football season. It made quite the impression by joining the Big Ten and the SEC as the only conferences to place multiple teams in the first 12-team College Football Playoff.

A Labor Day debut, trips to the Bounce House and the Bay Area, a home date with Clemson and a tough ending highlight Bill Belichick's first North Carolina schedule.

Belichick’s base salary is $1 million annually, paid monthly. On top of that, he’ll rake in a supplemental income of $9 million each year for promotional and media duties. These include appearances at events sponsored by UNC’s advertisers and donors, press conferences, and other special engagements.
