Bill Belichick's commitment to North Carolina came with a clear caveat. His contract contains a buyout clause. When it comes to that buyout clause, the most important date is June 1, 2025. On that day — only three weeks from tomorrow — the payment necessary for Belichick to exit the deal plummets from $10 million to $1 million.

The eight-time Super Bowl coach surprised the world when he decided to join the Tar Heels in the middle of the 2024 season. After spending 24 years with the New England Patriots, Belichick tried different things, including being more present and open to the media, appearing on TV shows and podcasts.

Despite lots of recent controversy, the University of North Carolina says Bill Belichick's girlfriend Jordon Hudson is still welcome at team facilities.
