Short sighted comment. We need all ACC teams to be competitive (or at least the top half) .

The only thing Dr Chu ever said that I could understand was "equibrum point".

Duke needs to suck in football. Be the Vandy of the ACC

The ACC needs some more strength at the very top right now but Duke ain’t gonna be that team and we don’t want them being it anyway, fanbase-size-wise.
So they can be one of the bottom teams that needs to be bad instead of pulling off annoying upsets to create logjams at 5-3.

All ACC teams just need to win their OOC games and not lose to FCS, MAC, and Sun Belt teams.

I was illustrating the absurdity of suggesting any major field of study is somehow easy.

We’re talking about majors designed to protect athletes from having to be student-athletes. In that context, your last bit pretty much negates your entire post.

They had an ESPN article on him within the last 6 months. Why he left BYU IDK. Reasons for leaving UVA - He did move back out West with his horses and land so that was part of the reason but also wanted some time off. He is a pretty intense guy and said he needed a break.

There are some ways to run in political directions with this article and the way it’s written. I think the bigger thing it talks about is Elko turning his back on his Duke players in a callous way.
Most of his former players found out he left via news or social media.
Some players may follow him. Others feel betrayed
He didn’t leave as badly as Petrino left the Falcons, but it was similar

When we are betrayed: Who to be and what to do?
We must also honor that we have invisible, moral injuries from how former Duke Football Coach Mike Elko left us.

I remember back to when Franchione left Bama for TAMU. I was in AL at the time and knew a player on that team. They were very upset with the way he left. Didn't even come back to tell them. Left that to an assistant coach. This after sitting with all of the upper classmen and persuading them to stay through the probation, saying that he was in it for the long haul. Just a bad, bad look.

Elko: So, let me tell you about this great opportunity I have......(describes wonderful opportunity)...... And in closing, I'll be leaving for that great opportunity post haste..... Are there any questions??

But integrity is not a valuable commodity in today’s college football scene.
