Oh, I forgot to think of the other, much less famous, Duke.

Yep. The problem isn't the use of the name. The problem is the misuse of the image.
I think it can be argued that the name is fairly generic.

The correct lyrics:
Ohhhh, we don’t give a damn for the whole state of Michigan
Whole state of Michigan
Whole state of Michigan
We don’t give a damn for the whole state of Michigan
We’re from Ohio.
We’re from Ohio (O-H!)
We’re from Ohio (I-O!)
(repeat)

Duke University is becoming Drunk University? I hope the Drunks will play UConn in basketball or football every year.

A message seeking comment from the John Wayne Enterprises was not immediately returned. Nor should they. Just keep loading up the cartridges.
To: Jack Hydrazine
In 1924, tobacco and electric power industrialist James B. Duke established The Duke Endowment, at which time the institution changed its name to honor his deceased father, Washington DukeAccording to Wikipedia, a firefighter started calling Wayne "Duke" around 1916 because he always had his dog named Duke. So he was Duke before Duke was Duke.

If Duke University is so set on stopping people using the name then why have they not sued James Madison University? JMU’s mascot is a bulldog named “Duke.”
To: Starstruck
I thought the dog’s name was Indiana.... : )
To: txrefugee
The university itself has destroyed its own good name.
