    I don’t know if you have ever heard this on a 4 letter TV network, but Duke and UNC are 8 miles apart.

    the hypocrisy of the ncaa at work.
    Sending student-athletes half across the country mid-week so we can have super conferences, but the mere thought of paying student-athletes a stipend is blasphemous.
    NCAA has gotten beyond the point of being a joke.

    Seriously ruffles, I get so tired of HGTV chatting up Duke/UNC.

    Seawolf, that gets on my nerves too. I want to see shows about upgrading my house, not Duke/UNC.
