Geoff Freeman, president and CEO of the U.S. Travel Association
Q: Does this take a lobbying effort on the part of the travel industry with both Congress and the administration to get that message across?
Yes, a coordinated lobbying effort involving industry, lawmakers, and the White House is necessary to push for a clear goal and policy changes that will attract more international visitors.
Jones Angell, Voice of the Tar heels
Q: What should fans tune in for in terms of timing and coverage on Saturday?
Coverage on WPTF starts with a tailgate show at 10 a.m., followed by a full network pregame at 11 a.m., and kickoff a few minutes after noon, giving fans a complete morning-to-game experience.
Jones Angell, Voice of the Tar heels
Q: What will the atmosphere at Kenan Stadium be like for the new kickoff game against a top-three opponent?
The atmosphere will be electric and sold out, with extra juice due to Notre Dame's visit. It's a program with a strong following, and that energy can help UNC in a big way, though they can't rely on it entirely.
