Jess Errico won a 48-hour reprieve by arguing the Final Four game 'was of great importance to the long-term standing of the infamous North Carolina men's basketball rivalry.'
On Sunday, Jess Errico watched her North Carolina Tar Heels snuff out the Cinderella run of the No. 15 seed Saint Peter’s Peacocks to set up a semifinal matchup with their archrival — the Duke Blue Devils.
A day later, the first-year University of North Carolina law school student realized she was in trouble. The Final Four game — the first time the Tar Heels and Blue Devils will face off in the NCAA tournament — was scheduled for Saturday, right before Errico and about 200 of her peers had to turn in the capstone project for their legal writing class. The assignment is worth 65 percent of their grade.
Errico, 26, told The Washington Post that she thought about getting the assignment done ahead of time or simply emailing her professor to ask for more time. Then, she had an idea: She would argue for a delay using the very lessons her professors had been teaching throughout the year.requesting at least a 24-hour extension to push the deadline from Sunday to Monday night. In addition, she asked for another 24 hours “in the highly likely event of UNC’s victory over Duke.
Her argument: The course syllabus allowed for extensions when “something wild” happens during the school year, with the syllabus citing “2 weeks of snow days” as an example. Errico suggested Saturday’s Final Four game is just such an occasion.“Like two weeks of snow days, a Dook and UNC matchup in the NCAA tournament has never occurred.
