The sports landscape continues to change rapidly and nowhere is that more evident than here at Inside Carolina and with UNC Football. IC’s move to the On3 network officially begins on Friday, Aug. 1, coinciding with a massive sea change in Chapel Hill. Bill Belichick’s Tar Heel team officially holds its first practice of training camp on Saturday, Aug. 2. 

The IC crew of Buck Sanders, Greg Barnes and Jason Staples join host Tommy Ashley for a special show to discuss the move, the hype and the reality heading into the college football season.
