The Don of Donations (must read)
Out of all fundraisers in college athletics, the Wall Street Journal chose our very own Bobby Purcell to feature in this article.

WRAL: Small town Raleigh marveled at 74 Wolfpack
A great retrospective done by Dane Huffman at WRAL.com. Click here. Then came in 1974 – and Raleigh became the epicenter of a story that would change college basketball. Duke was amazing in 1992, and North Carolina was phenomenal in ’82. But State was unique, in its talent and its time. The fading films and […]
ESPN.com: Carter-Finley 11th Toughest Stadium In The ACC (Updated 1:45pm)
