Beating a rival is a pretty big deal for a team. When that happens it is not unusual for their to be a celebration on the field that the other team will consider obnoxious. When UNC beat Duke last November the Tar Heels trashed the locker room and even spray painted the practice field. The team quickly apologized for it and promised to cover the cost of repairing the damages.
Well--the cost has been tabulated and the bill sent which was covered by head football coach Larry Fedora and AD Bubba Cunningham.

A little over $22,000 went to new carpet in the visitor's locker room with another $672 going to cover the paint.
An additional "$4,470.00 was needed to paint the walls of the practice facility and three panels in Wallace Wade stadium that had been sprayed U-N-C. “UNC” was also spray painted four places in the practice facility."

It was not a cool thing for the players to do, but Fedora and Cunningham covering the tab show they are nothing but class:
