The new highway marker along Interstate 40 celebrating the UNC-Chapel Hill’s 2017 NCAA championship was supposed to be up no more than two years.
It lasted about a week.
The standard issue green sign with white letters, put up recently almost three miles from PNC Arena, has gone missing. All that was left Friday were the two wooden posts that held the sign approved by the state Board of Transportation.
Many N.C. State University Wolfpack fans saw the sign and its proximity to their home court as a provocation. On social media, some joked about how they would take it down.
