UNC Posts Drake Maye Highlight After Reports Belichick Barred Patriots Content

The posting shift follows reports of a UNC social media directive that reflects Bill Belichick’s ongoing rift with his former team.

Overview

  • 247Sports/CBS Sports’ Ross Martin reported that UNC staff were directed not to post or repost New England Patriots content on official program accounts.
  • UNC’s accounts did not acknowledge Drake Maye’s primetime win over the Bills Sunday night, then shared a Maye clip late Monday morning after the report drew widespread attention.
  • CBS Sports reported the no-Patriots posting guidance had been in place since mid-September, even as UNC promoted other NFL alumni.
  • Belichick previously confirmed Patriots scouts were not allowed at UNC, saying he was not welcome at their facility, highlighting the continuing fallout from his New England exit.
