Everyone wants to be in Chapel Hill for Bill Belichick's debut as the UNC football program's head coach!
In fact, Inside Carolina confirmed that the "G.O.A.T." himself, Mr. Michael Jordan, is expected to be in attendance for the highly anticipated season opener against TCU.
We’ve gathered a batch of game week intel as UNC works through final prep for TCU. There’s growing confidence in one area and continued concern in another. Michael Jordan is expected to be on the scene Monday night, too.

Jordan shouldn't be the only big name in attendance, but he easily serves as the headliner regardless of who else shows up.
Sure, other notable Tar Heels, such as Lawrence Taylor, will likely make an appearance. However, the star-studded guest list won't be limited to those with UNC connections- expect other celebrities (and potentially former Patriots players) to show up to support Belichick and the Tar Heels.
Jordan's scheduled appearance goes to show you how monumental this beginning of the Bill Belichick era is for the UNC football program. The university is aiming to turn its football program into a national powerhouse and hopes that the six-time Super Bowl-winning head coach can be the guy to lead them to where they want to get.
There will be plenty of storylines to follow throughout the day on Monday in Chapel Hill, as the guest list of stars who made their way to Chapel Hill for the game will definitely be up there in the discussion.
