I agree. Duke will never push Durham over this.
Maybe New Jersey could recruit Duke. Princeton is good but there is room for another PC institution in that state. Duke would kick butt in the Ivy League. New Jersey folks probably know how to make Nifong an offer he can't refuse, too.
Brodhead should consider this. One of you Freepers with inside channels to the Duke administration please draw this thread to his immediate attention.
Funny you should mention NJ and Princeton. I believe (I may have the story wrong) the Duke family financed the building of Princeton. When Princeton refused to be named "Duke" the family built Duke in NC. The two campuses look very similar.
