The North Carolina–South Carolina football rivalry, also known as Battle of the Carolinas, is an American college football rivalry between the North Carolina Tar Heels football team of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and South Carolina Gamecocks football team of the University of South Carolina. North Carolina leads the series 34–19–4.^[1]

Series history

The series started in 1903 with a win for North Carolina in Columbia, South Carolina. The teams last met in 2015; South Carolina won 17–13.^[2] The teams will play in Charlotte, North Carolina in 2019 for the 58th meeting. It was also announced that the teams agreed to meet in Charlotte in 2019 and 2023.^[3]

Geography

Being close geographically, both teams compete for recruits on an annual basis. North Carolina has pulled players such as Robert Quinn and Quinshad Davis out of South Carolina in recent years. South Carolina has done the same by recruiting Larenz Bryant and Connor Mitch from North Carolina. Proximity also plays a role because in some areas of the two states there are significant populations of fans for each team. For example, Charlotte, North Carolina is closer to Columbia than Chapel Hill. Location can lead to ". . .families with Gamecocks and Tar Heels split down the middle. Couples where the man bleeds Carolina Blue, and the woman is all about the Garnet and Black. The fight, when it is present, is very real."^[4]

The usage of "Carolina"

Both North and South Carolina make use of "Carolina" as a moniker. From 1999 to 2004, North Carolina had "Carolina Tar Heels" written on its interlocking N and C logo. South Carolina uses only a "C", which is used to start the title "Carolina". The official color of UNC is "Carolina Blue", which is an officially licensed color. Both schools use end zones painted with the title "Carolina" and "Tar Heels" or "Gamecocks" across them. Both schools use the script "Carolina" on a number of their sports uniforms. Both have the moniker trademarked.^[5]^[6]

North Carolina fans argue that it was the first public university in America, and claimed the nickname first. Also, the Province of Carolina was originally founded in what is modern day North Carolina, however the principal seat of government was in Charles Town..^[7]^[8]

South Carolina fans argues that it became a state first.^[9]

Both schools have referred to themselves as simply "Carolina", even when playing each other.^[10]^[11]

Gamecocks leave the ACC

North Carolina and South Carolina spent 49 years in the same athletic conferences, first in the Southern Conference and later in the Atlantic Coast Conference, until the Gamecocks left the ACC to become independent in 1971. The reason for South Carolina's departure was how much control and influence UNC and the other North Carolina schools had on the ACC and Gamecock coach Frank McGuire's displeasure with conference officials whom he felt were biased in favor of the "Tobacco Road" schools. Some high-profile South Carolina recruits did not meet the academic requirements to play in the ACC. Gamecock player Mike Grosso never played a game with South Carolina, because Duke University questioned his academic standing.^[12]
