I realize that the metrics for college field hockey are low. But there should be something in today's N&O after a local college (UNC) caps a second consecutive undefeated national championship season. There was nothing in the print edition and it was a 1p.m. game.

It’s because the

There are, thankfully, exceptions. The News & Record gives A&T good coverage and the Winston-Salem Journal does the same for Winston-Salem State. The N&O covers NCCU some but not nearly as much as the Herald-Sun used to do. Shaw and St. Aug's are, unfortunatly a different story.

Well, to be fair, they just dont understand the meaning of “national championship” over in Raleigh. It clearly hasnt been their thing, so tough to write about. 😬

I think that's a case of the beat writer taking the initiative to write the story. I'm quite sure that the editors didn't see a national championship being won and say, "Oh, that's UNC, we wont' cover it." In general, the paper doesn't cover non-revenue sports much.

is 🚮.
They have an agenda over there, haven’t you heard ?
Any positives stories concerning UNC are met with shoulder shrugs and indifference.
They are hemorrhaging money, heads will roll...
