I am still benefiting from my time at Carolina, and this program means too much to too many people. We can't rely so heavily on athletic department or state budgets to continue providing a positive experience to these young men, future recruits, AND former alumni.
We need to insulate UNC Men's Soccer from financial hardships, and the time is now.
