Mack Brown is really sitting back and enjoying the UNC downfall under Bill Belichick. But his recent dig at UNC and Belichick was subtly done based on Belichick’s recent drama with his former workplace. The tension escalated when the UNC barred Patriots scouts from attending its football practices. Belichick confirmed that, saying, “It’s clear that I’m not welcome there, around their facility. And so they’re not welcome at ours. It’s pretty simple.” And on top of that, Belichick took this bitterness up a notch. How?

Now, with all this happening, Mack Brown wouldn’t leave this chance to break some rules constructed by his former workplace. So what did he do? Brown openly celebrated Maye’s success. “So Happy for Drake,” Brown writes on X, posting a picture with Maye.

But North Carolina wouldn’t let their former hero’s big win slide by because of some childish beef. Thus, even UNC posted Maye’s success on X, saying, @DrakeMaye2 pulling off some magic, where have we seen this before?
