The General Football Manager of the University of North Carolina, Michael Lombardi, is inflexible about ensuring that the reports on Bill Belichick and Jordon Hudson do not become a distraction.
Hudson closed a question about how the couple met Tony Dokoupil during Belichick’s interview with “CBS News Sunday Morning” in April, and the interview generated generalized criticism.
