In February, reports suggested that "Hard Knocks" was set to cover UNC football as Bill Belichick arrived for his first season. But not long after, the deal reportedly fell through. Belichick was later asked about the deal falling through, saying, "We're not a training camp."

Earlier this month, rumors surfaced that Hudson was one of the reasons behind the Tar Heels football program being featured on “Hard Knocks” being nixed, with The Athletic reporting that she played an “instrumental role” in the deal falling through.
