A new bill was proposed today in the North Carolina House of Representatives that would require NC State and UNC to play one another annually in football, men’s basketball, women’s basketball, baseball (a 3-game series), and softball (a 3-game series).
Bill 469, titled the ‘Restoring Rivalries Act,’ was sponsored by House Republican Majority Leader Brenden Jones.
“Essentially what we want to ensure is that UNC and NC State will continue to play in a world where they are not both in the ACC,” said Rep. Brenden Jones, the House’s Republican majority leader and a lead sponsor of the bill.
