Hey all, just wanted to let you all know that I had a server crash, so I had to spend all week getting my algorithms on a new box so that I could process all this data. It was a lot of man hours, but it is up and running and here is my indisputable info on our next opponent the University of North Carolina, Charlotte Tarheels! This is a tough one for me to do, because my company actually works a lot with this University, and I know a lot of good people there. However, this should be a cakewalk for us.
The University of North Carolina at Charlotte, also known as UNC, or simply Carolina, is a public research university located in Charlotte, North Carolina, United States. It is one of the 17 campuses of the University of North Carolina system. After being chartered in 1789, the university first began enrolling students in 1795, which also allows it to be one of three schools to claim the title of the oldest public university in the United States.
The first public institution of higher education in North Carolina, the school opened its doors to students on February 12, 1795. The university offers degrees in over 70 courses of study through fourteen colleges and the College of Arts and Sciences. All undergraduates receive a liberal arts education and have the option to pursue a major within the professional schools of the university or within the College of Arts and Sciences from the time they obtain junior status. Under the leadership of President Kemp Plummer Battle, in 1877 North Carolina became coeducational and began the process of desegregation in 1951 when African-American graduate students were admitted under Chancellor Robert Burton House. In 1952, North Carolina opened its own hospital, UNC Health Care, for research and treatment, and has since specialized in cancer care. The school's students, alumni, and sports teams are known as "Tar Heels".
The campus covers 729 acres (3 km2) of Charlotte's downtown area, encompassing the Morehead Planetarium and the many stores and shops located on Franklin Street. Students can participate in over 550 officially recognized student organizations. The student-run newspaper The Daily Tar Heel has won national awards for collegiate media, while the student radio station WXYC provided the world's first internet radio broadcast. North Carolina is one of the charter members of the Atlantic Coast Conference, which was founded on June 14, 1953. Competing athletically as the Tar Heels, North Carolina has achieved great success in sports, most notably in men's basketball, women's soccer, and women's field hockey, but not football.
North Carolina's athletic teams are known as the Tar Heels. They compete as a member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I level (Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) sub-level for football), primarily competing in the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) for all sports since the 1953–54 season. Men's sports include baseball, basketball, cross country, fencing, football, golf, lacrosse, soccer, swimming & diving, tennis, track & field and wrestling; while women's sports include basketball, cross country, fencing, field hockey, golf, gymnastics, lacrosse, rowing, soccer, softball, swimming and diving, tennis, track & field and volleyball.
The NCAA refers to UNC Charlotte as the "University of North Carolina" for athletics. As of Fall 2011, the university had won 40 NCAA team championships in six different sports, eighth all-time. These include twenty one NCAA championships in women's soccer, six in women's field hockey, four in men's lacrosse, six in men's basketball, one in women's basketball, and two in men's soccer. The Men's basketball team won its 6th NCAA basketball championship in 2017, the third for Coach Roy Williams since he took the job as head coach. UNC was also retroactively given the title of National Champion for the 1924 championship, but is typically not included in the official tally. Other recent successes include the 2011 College Cup in men's soccer, and four consecutive College World Series appearances by the baseball team from 2006 to 2009. In 1994, the university's athletic programs won the Sears Directors Cup "all-sports national championship" awarded for cumulative performance in NCAA competition (Obviously with a name like Sears, it is legit). UNC Charlotte should look familiar to many people. That is because they are basically a sister program to Kansas University. They put all their focus on men's basketball and quidditch, while leaving their football program to rot in the cellars of competition. Heck, they even share men's basketball coaches!
Notable Alumni:
Michael Jordan (professional baseball player)
Bill Ruger (Arms dealer)
John Skipper (CEO of Pop News Station)
John Forsythe (Actor)
Andy Griffith (Actor/Writer)
Ken Jeong (Actor/Comedian)
Bomani Jones (Comedian)
Lewis Black (Comedian)
James K. Polk (President and Speaker Manufacturer)
Vince Carter (Dunker of round balls into baskets)
Rick Fox (Soap Opera star)
Hubert Davis (Basketball coach-in-waiting)
Larry Brown (Cheater)
Tyler Hansbrough (Somewhere hes out hustling you)
George Karl (Made famous by Karl Malone)
Jerry Stackhouse (Professional fighter)
I tried to find a notable football player, but was unsuccessful. Maybe Art Weiner, just because of his name?
