[QUOTE="ToddM, post: 15736, member: 446"] Speaking of recruiting and academics, Cutcliffe was on ESPN around lunch time today as they were actually highlighting Duke football. He was asked about the standards at Duke. He stated that they had no plans to lesson standards but that there approach would be to tout the Duke education in the mindset that there will be no other place to go in which you can get a Duke degree and play for an elite football program. Calling Duke elite is a lot like the taste of escargot, if you tell people enough that snails are good they will believe it and consider them a high quality food. He stated that Coach K has taken an active role in football discussions and that he mets with him frequently on issues concerning the Duke athlete in general. Now I know Duke isn't a Fla St. yet but if Duke feels they have an approach which will secure top recruits then we can surely do the same. Sounds like the key here is the apparent total buy in that Duke has propagated throughout the entire school. In other words a certain attitude. If Duke gets this right Tech will have to step it up. Miami, NC, VT, Pitt and Duke would be real hard to go against which could impact the overall quality of every Tech team. So whatever it is if Duke can do it we should be able to [/QUOTE]
