08:13 AM ET 10.19 | According to North Carolina coach Roy Williams, the NCAA will not waive a rule that prevents a team from traveling to a road game more than 48 hours before tipoff. Williams told ESPN.com at ACC media day Wednesday that the Heels have been denied in two attempts to overturn the waiver so it can leave for a Long Beach State game on the last commercial flight at 5 p.m. out of Raleigh-Durham International Airport. ... So do the Tar Heels have a charter booked? "No," said Williams. "I'm raising cane to get another appeal. It's silly. We're not going to class on Thursday, so why not let us go Wednesday night? What do the student-athletes gain by staying from 5 to 11 p.m.? What we lose is $120,000 by going charter. "This is ridiculous."

What's the idea behind the rule in the first place?

Some schools would change class routine just to suit them, bias.

Possibly to keep them from getting extra benefits of practice time? Beach time? Miller time?

Some rules don't apply to UNC, clear academic violation not within the NCAA jurisdiction. Criminal offense, no NCAA rules violation within the NCAA jurisdiction.

2006 was a pretty big game. Spurrier in the Swamp for the first time as the ClickClOCKs coach. Last second FG block for the Gators to win.

What's wrong with Afro-American studies? Its American history after all. Lord knows we've all been forced to over learn about white people. Its about time black folks get some equal time.
