RALEIGH
Intrastate bill up for hearing
The speaker of the N.C. House of Representatives has tapped the breaks on a proposal legislating scheduling of games in football and basketball for the athletics departments at the ACC’s North Carolina and N.C. State.
UNC Charlotte, Appalachian State and East Carolina would have been impacted as well.
UNC Intrastate Athletic Competition, as House Bill 965 is known, as of Monday morning is still set to get a hearing in the Appropriations Committee. Rep. Tim Moore (R-Cleveland) doesn’t expect much time to be given to it then and confirmed “it won’t come to the floor” of the House.
