A final, touching gesture from a beloved and legendary coach.
The late Dean Smith pulled off one last, incredible feat:
This is amazing. RT @ChestPassDemps: Coach Smith willed his trust to send a $200 check to each his former players http://ift.tt/1GuyMHv

Tim Breedlove, trustee of the Dean E. Smith Revocable Trust, confirmed with SB Nation that the letter and the check are indeed real, as this was something that he set up prior to his passing. Breedlove said that UNC was "instrumental" in helping all of the letters get to their destinations.
In total, "about 180" of the letters were sent out, to every letterman that ever played under Coach Smith.
Enjoy your dinners, players. Compliments of Coach Smith.
