  • Sounds like Duke has some fixing to do..

    How embarrassing for Duke.. lol.. It's not like football is stealing the show there. They are apparently not promoting basketball very well.. It's probably time they build a new arena too. Cameran has fallen behind the times. http://dukechronicle.com/article/low...-student-seats

      They are probably not that distraught at getting to sell those student tix at $65 a pop.

      Financially, Duke's attendance is probably not tht important considering how much Duke and the ACC are on the tube.

        Who cares about finances? How can a team of Duke's stature not get student butts in the seats to every single game for the next 5 years out?

          College students aren't just some army who is standing by waiting to go crazy.. Ask Wichita State about that. Every school has different student dynamics, Duke is obviously just failing at something.

            Dook has an endowment of almost 5 billion dollars. They could care less about finances on such a small scale.

              Great point! But having empty seats on television sure doesn't look good! :)

                The empty seats would hurt some egos alright, and the fact that coach K actually has to get the crowd going from time to time is truly amazing. Almost 5 billion dollars. It just boggles my imagination to thing in those terms but then again I'm not a professional politician used to squandering larger sums than that. Does this mean this needs to be placed in the political thread?

                  Haha, dook might be our opponents but I wouldn't wish the lifestyle of a politician on my worst enemy!
