Bill Belichick linked with new media venture after ex-New England Patriots coach’s shock move into college football
BILL Belichick has been tipped to start a new media venture after his switch to college football.
The head coach, 72, sent shock waves through the sporting world when he took the University of North Carolina job.
His arrival has brought increased media attention to the Tar Heels football team.
And that attention apparently reached as far as HBO's Hard Knocks cameras.
The series reportedly showed an interest in going behind the scenes at Belichick's new team.
That would've been a major change from tradition - where they follow an NFL team through training camp.

The move was reportedly rejected by NFL team owners.
But now the Tar Heels have been linked with their own reality show away from the Hard Knocks brand.
Front Office Sports reported a behind-the-scenes look at Belichick's Tar Heels could be on the cards.
Sports reality shows have been on the rise in recent years - including college sports.
