PINEHURST — When you think of college basketball in North Carolina, you think first of the ACC. Famous coaches. Future NBA stars. Packed arenas. ESPN telecasts. National championships.

You won’t see a bit of that at Sandhills Community College in Pinehurst – except for the “national championship” part.

Sandhills is college basketball at its purest and starkest level. The school grants no scholarships.

It’s an all-too-real condition for almost one in five North Carolinians.
And it’s getting worse, not better.

Starting Sunday, The N&O launches a monthly examination of the faces and issues of poverty across our state with reporting and commentary by lawyer, professor and social critic Gene Nichol, who directs UNC Law School’s Center on Poverty, Work and Opportunity. N&O photojournalist Travis Long is documenting the work for publication in print on online.
