Too easy, but had to do it ...

U Conn deserves both 🍑🎩🤡’s leading their respective basketball programs. Geno and Danny, So much to be proud of

A student-athlete turned in a 146-word essay about Rosa Parks — one paragraph, riddled with errors, no sources — and got an A-minus. That single paper helped expose the biggest academic fraud in NCAA history. For 18 years, from 1993 to 2011, a department secretary named Deborah Crowder ran fake courses at the University of North Carolina. @UNC The classes never met. There was no syllabus and no professor. Students turned in one paper per semester. Crowder admitted she never read them. She skimmed introductions and handed out A’s. UNC’s academic counselors steered athletes into these courses each semester, specifying what grades each player needed. Athletes made up 47% of enrollments despite being just 4% of the student body. Rashad McCants, a star on UNC’s 2005 championship team, told ESPN he made the Dean’s List without attending a single class. Ten of fifteen players on that title team were enrolled in paper courses. When whistleblower Mary Willingham revealed that 60% of athletes read at a 4th-to-8th grade level, UNC attacked her publicly and fans sent death threats. She was forced to resign. In October 2014, a 136-page investigation confirmed the scope: 188 fake classes, 3,100 students, 18 years of fraud. And the punishment? In October 2017, the NCAA ruled there were no significant violations. Zero penalties. No vacated wins. No postseason bans. @UNC calls themselves a bastion of academia. How incredibly pathetic.

April Fools Day The one day out of the year most social media posts makes sense.

Watched Mahan in a controlled scrimmage on Saturday. He has a quick release, great arm, and throws a beautiful ball to catch. He also has speed and escapability…My former teammate/roomate Chris Castor and I were very impressed!

Kids today will never know the joy of a nine team ACC where players stayed all four years and you knew the starting five for pretty much every team in the conference. We had it all ladies & gentlemen.

Hey @RoddyJones20 you’re correct on Duke being the standard. I have seen bad alignment… not the case here. Come on up and visit my friend. #NoSwagAllBusiness #HoistTheFlag🏴‍☠️ #BullRunPicnic🧺

🤔 so does Duke Basketball get to keep all the NCAA tournament money for its continued advancement as the ONLY ACC team left in the tourney… You know… how like Miami Football kept all that playoff money? Hello @theACC

Per CBS, Duke has the best coaching duo! Can we add Kara Lawson for the trio? 👀

So, where are all those people that said Miami OH would get destroyed by a quality team?

There is no 2025 ACC Championship 🏆 at Duke without Cut! He got it all started! 🫡

Under AD Nina King, Duke University is thriving across multiple sports. A former business executive, King is part of a growing trend of business-minded leaders navigating the NIL and athlete compensation era. Will more schools look outside traditional athletics backgrounds for future ADs?

🐐

Per ESPN, Duke is the first school to win the ACC football, men’s & women’s basketball championships in the same school year. Leadership matters. Here’s the woman behind it all. Duke AD Nina King.

Per the ESPN broadcast, Duke just became the first school to win the ACC football, men’s and women’s basketball championships in the same school year. Duke: Not just a football school.

youtu.be/6gPcpY5_8i8?si=8SQg… What is it with Virginia and throwing to Duke? Props to UVA for a great ACC Championship game. They are good. Congratulations Duke ACC football, women’s basketball and men’s basketball champions, 2025-26

Was that @CaydenBoozer or @LukeMergott on that 🏆-sealing INT? 🤔 #ACCChamps #EverythingSchool #DejaHoo

Watching Khamenia and Cayden Boozer bounce back in their bigger roles tonight makes me think of a contrast between Hubert Davis and Jon Scheyer. For Hubert it’s often “we need to play harder” for Scheyer it’s “I need to put them in better positions to succeed.” #duke #unc

Happy Birthday @Coach_MannyDiaz
