There's blood in the water boys and girls.
And a whole lot more than the fong's blood. Duke has legal liabilities which might be sufficient to shut the place down, early applications are down 20% and falling, and at least half the problem is Durham itself since NOBODY with any brains or talent would send a kid to ANY school in or near Durham at this point. Duke has to eliminate its own villains, and then move, and they don't have five years to do it.
