Story summary

Bill Belichick, 74, addressed recent rumors about Jordon Hudson, 25, stating they were "so ridiculous" when speaking to the Wall Street Journal. Belichick clarified that Hudson has no official role with his team despite earlier reports suggesting she was copied on emails regarding the football program. This clarification came days before a significant ACC clash between North Carolina and Clemson, where Hudson was seen supporting her boyfriend in a UNC-branded tracksuit while Hudson herself wore Carolina blue. Hudson has been increasingly visible at recent games, including the Tar Heels' 35-3 victory over East Tennessee State last week. The coach's comments underscore the effort to distance Hudson from any undue influence on the football program.
