UNC Vs. Miami Game Postponed After Video Surfaces Of Players Partying Maskless

On Monday, North Carolina and Miami’s ACC matchup was suddenly postponed two hours before the game was supposed to begin on Monday evening after a video of two of UNC’s players partying maskless surfaced. The video surfaced following the team’s win over rival Duke on Saturday.

The video, originally posted to Snapchat and later to YouTube by The Daily Tar Heel shows Armando Bacot and Day’Ron Sharpe partying with several individuals in a closed space, all of whom were not wearing masks.

The Miami Herald reported that the Hurricanes were concerned about possible exposure the UNC players might have had at the party.

The ACC did not say the video was the reason for the game’s postponement, but instead, they said the decision was made after a mutual agreement.

“The postponement follows a meeting of personnel from both schools, who mutually concluded the game could not move forward today,” the ACC’s statement said.

“There was a video that was out there with several of their players without masks at a party at 1 a.m. Sunday morning, which is less than 48 hours from our game,” Miami coach Jim Larranaga, told The Herald. “Our president [Julio] Frenk is adamant that student-athletes are allowed to compete, but they’ve got to stay the safe social distance. Our guys have done a fantastic job. We have not had a single guy test positive and they were all unanimous that this isn’t right. We have been quarantining, hibernating, whatever you want to call it, and we don’t want to put ourselves in a position [to get the virus]. We came to a decision that it’s better to postpone the game.”
