Hunt: (Just to add a little levity to the thread). People in Missouri do think Duke is at the same level (or higher) academically than Michigan. However…Mom’s hesistancy could all be basketball-related.

True Mizzou fans have not yet forgiven Duke graduate Quin Snyder for nearly destroying our basketball program. Good looks and three Duke degrees did not make him a good coach!

Maybe the OP’s mom is my age and remembers how Michigan barely beat Mizzou in 1976 in the Elite 8 and she still holds a grudge. Or maybe she doesn’t like her in-laws who are Michigan grads.

And UNC basketball coach is Roy Williams, who used to coach at kansas (it is neither a proper name or a proper place and therefore should not be capitalized.) Lots of hatred for roy boy here in the Show-Me State.
