JEALOUSY

Duke is hated by those that hate them because of their continued success. Now, many of those haters attribute that success to the fact that they get the best recruits in the country because of their previous success. That is also true. Its not a balanced system and success breads future success. Look at the recruiting crop from any school the year after they win a national championship,its much better than the previous year.

But although Duke is allowed to recruit in a way which mirrors the Yankees payroll, they still don't win 25% of the championships. So there is some parity just in the odds of winning 6 consecutive games in March. But as far as a school goes, basketball notwithstanding, it was outstanding. Not a single liberal indoctrinating professor graced my son's classrooms (unless you want to argue about David Gergen, who didn't prostyletize).
