It wasn’t entirely unpredictable that, with students on campus, UNC’s win over Duke would result in some... let’s call it COVID-unfriendly behavior. After a year like last year, a big win over Duke feels sweet, and while the University discouraged such behavior ahead of the game, pictures quickly circulated of people who were probably students gathering excitedly on Franklin Street, jumping over bonfires, bringing out furniture, the whole nine yards. I’m not going to embed pictures in this article, but if you want to look, they can be found here. The University is already taking steps to address this, opening up conduct investigations and delaying the start of any in-person classes by 2 weeks to account for students’ likely need to quarantine.
