Clemson Football: 5 Schools we’d like to kick out of the ACC
By John Chancey
Duke Blue Devils
Back to the hard decisions. Duke is one of my Momma’s schools. This is hard, even though I have no real love for their men’s basketball team.
That, of course, is the crown jewel of the Blue Devil athletic department. As much as I don’t like them, they have been a blue blood in basketball since the 1980s.
If you ever needed more proof of what I said on the previous slide about Syracuse – that there is no way a successful & popular men’s basketball program is going to overcome the drag of a poor football program – you need look no further than Durham, North Carolina.
67th in viewership and 69th in attendance. By the way, there were only 69 programs in that study. It is a crying shame that one day a program like Duke Men’s Basketball could be left out of a Power college sports conference because its football program has been so lousy for so long.
