Used that way Carolina refers to UNC chapel hill, not north carolina the state. It's an extremely common local usage when talking about the university sports teams. It's less pervasive but still very common for referring to the university itself.
- whycome 3y agoDoes this cause any kind of conflict with South Carolinians?
- DiggyJohnson 3y agoYes. South Carolina is the only state in the country where “Carolina” isn’t synonymous with “UNC”. It conflicts with the University of South Carolina. Which also has the issue of having the less popular side of the overlapping acronym with University of Southern California (USC). Go Cocks!
