Those who make between $100,000 and $200,000 will see a 10 percent reduction in their salaries and full-time staff members with a yearly salary of less than $100,000 will be furloughed for 15 days. These reductions will remain in effect until June 30, 2021, the UNC student-led paper reported.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This was not an easy decision,&#8221; Athletic Director <strong>Bubba Cunningham<\/strong> wrote in an open letter. &#8220;Our coaches and staff work diligently each day to ensure that our student-athletes have the best experience possible, and their dedication makes Carolina a truly special place. This was also a necessary decision, because we must do everything we can to provide as many opportunities as possible for student-athletes in the future.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The University of North Carolina athletic department is expected to lose between $30 million and $52 million of its $110 million pre-pandemic projected revenue from ticket sales, sponsorship and television money, conference distributions, concession sales and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailytarheel.com\/article\/2020\/08\/unc-fall-sports-no-fans-in-attendance-at-games\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a lack of fans in attendance at home events<\/a>. Losing the opportunity to participate in the men&#8217;s basketball tournament last March was a big blow, as was limiting the number of spectators at home football games and reducing the schedule to conference-only opponents and one non-conference opponent.<\/p>\n<p>North Carolina is a member of the Atlantic Coast Conference which will be participating in fall sports this year, unlike schools in the Big Ten and Pac-12 Conferences as the ACC will be playing football starting next week.<\/p>\n<p>Six Division I swim teams have been cut this off-season due to the financial fallout from the COVID pandemic, but North Carolina is doing everything it can to avoid cutting any sports. Decisions such as cutting its sport budget by 10% for the upcoming school year, halting non-essential travel and leaving 17 open full-time positions unfulfilled have been made to keep all of its undergrad teams intact.<\/p>\n<p>The Tar Heel swimmers are coached by\u00a0<strong>Mark Gangloff\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0<strong>Dr. Jack Brown<\/strong> as they qualified <a
