Okay point taken but the football program at UNC is likely cash positive. The current athletic fee at UNC Chapel Hill is $300/semester or year (can't remember). The fee would almost be zero if Title IX didn't exist. The fee is $0 for students at Alabama (2018).
Belichick to coach UNC

If money doesnt buy you love (according to some people) it certainly buys being happy while you are alive*LOL*
Good god

Well being a cheerleader she sure must be !
Not so much in the past decade. However, UNC basketball is cash positive and supports all the other sports at UNC.

Well - lovely campus anyway - did management training there
One of my fondest memories of UNC was when myself an a few others were getting towed around an icy parking lot on a tarp. The only reason I remember this is because I was with members of the men's & women's track team and the French daughter of the CEO of Adidas, was on the team and she was simply beautiful. I was a high school senior at the time.

He's not even top 5 highest paid in NCAAF.
Here's more on that:

UNC AD all but said this move to hire the oldest coach in D-1 college football was 100% to get eyeballs (and $$) on this program
The Babylon Bee is awesome satire.

It is strange but true, 50 mil is not a lot today.
It’s hilarious watching 70’s crime drama shows and they murder people for < $100k. There was even a Law and Order where some woman signed a NDA and got $250k and was living on Park Ave. Seems way out of whack in 2024.
Even for a guy like Bellichick. One would think he’s at a juncture where time > money. I am sure it’s not stress free being a coach. Why do it at that age.
Belichick LIVES for football coaching! There’s many stories out there of 100 hour weeks in his Patriot days. If he wasn’t blackballed, he would have been back in the NFL already. I think his ex-QB minority owner of the Raiders might be interested!

I'm not there yet, but I've been told there's more to life than work. I don't know that because that's all I've done since 22. Just worked over Thanksgiving, cancelled all plans. It comes at a tremendous price to family, and really health. But if that's what he lives for I get it. There's nothing else.
I suspect that the $50M contract was all the speaking in depth that he wanted to hear. His girlfriend seems overjoyed at this deal also.

Imagine how proud gfs mom and dad and siblings have to be. All the wisdom he passes down to her
Edit I got curious and the woman was a student of the New England Hair Academy while attending high school, juggling academics and cosmetology. Then a cheerleader in college. I figured there would be some connection to football.

University of South Carolina (SEC) athletic fee is zero. Still paying for one there currently. The amount of athletic facilities available to every student is amazing - pools, tracks, etc. All paid for by SEC money. So are things for less popular sports. SEC Football / basketball pays for all the fancy stuff.
South Carolina is 55% out of state for undergrad. A friend of mine from Philly sent both his kids there. When I asked why he said it was still cheaper than home. Clearly we need to raise out of state tuition some more.
Has any successful NFL coach gone this way with success? He has never coached college at all - so says google.
Its a totally different game, and a totally different approach - your team changes almost every year.
I wonder how much of his contract is guaranteed? After he looses 7 games and the 24 year old moves on, no one will want him there, including him

My 2nd Cousin (NJ) sent her son to Columbia, SC starting this past fall.

He rather be at a SEC football game in Columbia drinking beer with coeds wearing sun dresses than sitting in Piscataway, NJ watching the Scarlet Knights?

This hiring will go down as one of UNC's biggest Epic Failures. Bill's no longer even capable of building a good assistant coaching staff anymore.
UNC has no shortage of epic failures, see also Larry Fedora, Butch Davis and Matt Doherty. I have no dog in this fight other than having attended a rival school. In this case, I wish nothing but success for the tar holes, as it can only temporarily lift the entire ACC conference in terms of buzz and eye balls. My personal hope is NC high school recruits who previously would have committed to UT, UGA, USC or Clemson will look at UNC. A 4 or 5 star QB prospect now may consider playing for the GOAT and being groomed as an NFL prospect. NIL & transfer portal bs can be handled by "general managers" much like trades, contracts, drafts were in the NFL. College football is now more like the NFL than the converse. Urban Myer, Nick Saban (yes that guy), Steve Spurrier, Lou Holtz and Dennis Erickson could not make it work going from college to the NFL and they were no slouches among college coaches. Someone coming from the NFL to college in this day with 6 Super Bowl wins has a good chance of success. Free this guy up to concentrate on X's and O's, it might be interesting.
