CHARLOTTE, N.C. — On Thursday UNC Charlotte accepted an invitation to join the American Athletic Conference. It’s a monumental moment for the 49ers athletic program who will see a large increase in revenue due to the move to the AAC. The date of departure from Conference USA to begin play in the American has not been announced.
WCCB sports anchor Zach Aldridge went one-on-one with Charlotte’s athletic director Mike Hill to discuss the big move.
