North Carolina Mascot Passes Away - Mar 26, 2007 | 13:27:27
North Carolina student Jason Ray died this morning after being hit by a sport-utility vehicle on Friday. Ray served as the Tar Heel mascot for the past three seasons and was just a couple of blocks from the team hotel when he was hit. Although he wasn???t a student-athlete, Jason was revered by the UNC community and this is a significant loss for the world of intercollegiate athletics.
