BOSTON -- New UNC football coach Bill Belichick won't be back in the state he's called home for the past two decades, as school officials told ESPN he's not expected to attend the Fenway Bowl on Saturday morning.

Belichick's new program will close out the final chapter of its 2024 season, as the Tar Heels (6-6) will take on UConn (8-4) at Fenway Park on ESPN at 11 a.m. Even with Belichick not in attendance at the Fenway Bowl media day on Friday, his presence loomed.

"I think it's been really exciting," UNC athletic director Bubba Cunningham told ESPN.
