“...most of these kids are in no way academically qualified for college....
Not so at Duke. They must be academically qualified to enter the university and maintain their grades once enrolled. That has always been a problem for Duke, Vanderbilt and other such schools. It is difficult to get top drawer recruits in basketball and football that can be enrolled.
State universities such as Wisconsin have lower entry requirements.
I’d like to see what those “scholars” at Duke are studying.
You don't get in to Duke unless you have good academics.
All you have to do is listen to the player's interviews after the game.
You won't hear Ebonics from Duke players, unlike many other player interviews.
They are articulate young men.
As for jumping to the NBA after freshman year, I agree. That should be stopped, age restriction or something.
