FutureVpFinance, yes it is likely Coach K remains over the next 4 years. My point is that the school spirit which draws in the OP is tied to the basketball team and will not last long after graduation in its current incarnation when that retirement comes. So yes, soaking up that environment in college may seem fun, but the post-graduation career opportunities the university affords are more important, and Columbia has just has a little more polish to the name. Duke is a fine school, and may be close to an Ivy, but is not an Ivy.
