I just don't get the whole hate Duke thing. I can see hating a professional team because, well....their paid to play. While some may argue that scholarships in essence pay a kid to play as well, they still have to get admitted and maintain grades. As we all know some programs have some serious issues with admissions and academics. What program is better than Duke? World class academics & athletics. The kids graduate and the school is tremendous. What's to hate about that? The only recent jink in their armour was the LAX team scandel. If my kid got accepted to that school I would be a proud Papa for sure. I went to Worcester State and then transferred to Providence and while I was at both schools(the first as an athlete) I saw some pretty scandelous things out there. I don't think there is such thing as the perfect program but i have to rank Duke at the top or near the top as an all around experience.
