Too lazy to write a well-thought out piece as you did @TopTier. But thats exactly what I thought. I was concerned that many people felt this need for Duke to be something it isn’t. If basketball is what differentiates us from the other top 10 schools then we should be proud of thta. DukeEngage, Duke Innovation & Entrepreneurship as well as Focus and other scholarship programs are enough to make Duke a standout in academic enrichment even with such large emphasis on basketball.
Yes I knew this was form 2012 but I was wondering if almost 3 years later people still had the same sentiments.
