Duke Haters

  • Tuesday, March 21, 2017

I am a Duke fan and disagree with Randy Smith's article. Unfortunately, success is hated more than admired in the world of sports, especially on the college level.

Approximately, 98 percent of the athletes graduate and have the same academic admission as students that do not participate in sports. 

Please read the statement on NBC Sports News that Duke was disadvantaged to play in the same venue following the UNC game with their fans that hate Duke.
