The nice thing about being a Duke fan is that you know they will be back again strong next year.

So take your shots now while you have the opportunity.

Even now that they are out there are commercials bout them or Coach K every 5 minutes. They always get the calls and prima donna treatment. Yes they are good but leave us alone for a while. I need a break from them for a few weeks.

Second, US News & World Report in their 2005 annual survey of the top colleges in the nation include Duke University at #5. Stanford is also in the top 10. The rest are MIT, Cal Tech, and six Ivy League schools.

 

Where was MIT in this year's field of 64 again?

 

I didn't look for a link to prove my point, because it's an obvious one. It's not like Duke is recruiting illiterates that scored a 400 on the SAT, but being able to consistently hit 20 foot shots from the outside or being 6-10/240 compensates a great deal for what a student lacks in reading comprehension and math skills.

MIT and CalTech are not D-I.

Looked it up and there you go, sure enough a D-3 program.

 

Still doesn't change the fact that Duke doesn't hold basketball players to the same standards as regular applicants to get into school. Same with Stanford. Same with Northwestern.

 

Vanderbilt, I am not sure about.

I just noticed this thread and will try to post in it tomorrow. Right now I am having a tough time stomaching the fact that peaople actually believe that duke is squeaky clean and that coach k actually cares about anything other than glorifying himself.
