Give it a rest. The kid barely even hit the stat sheet for DCE. He wanted to go Ivy, but they didn’t call. A year later, he’s now going to Duke, but let’s not pretend it’s O’Neal heading to Durham.

Who cares? What is the end goal - to play in the PLL for $25K a year? He used lacrosse to get to Duke. Seems like a win.

If that was the case, I would think there would be lots of families that would spend big bucks to be on the Duke Lacrosse team - particularly all of the NE boarding school types. I don’t see that on their roster.

You don't see any NE/PA private or boarding school kids on the Duke roster? Okaaayyy...

How bout you frame your kid's DCE stat sheet and let the Duke kid frame his diploma and be done with it already?

I am a poster from a while back, and if you zoom out, I don't see jealously as much as I see concern from some of these posters about the mental, social, and physical well-being of children placed in a situation that is beyond their skills. But I'm sure the families have carefully thought through their decisions, and I hope everything works out for the best for everyone. See you in the spring.

there is lots of politics on all travel teams. I grant you that NL 2027 is one of the worst, but no travel team is a pure meritocracy, and certainly not DCE 2026. But college teams ARE a meritocracy, which explains why recruiting results do not always align with the depth chart on the travel team from which the player came.

I'm just sorry that this belabored discussion forced me to watch three 5 foot 6" middies playing club ball. I will never get those 3 minutes back

I went to a top private university, and I know what the development kids went through and how they felt, and it's not a path I would choose for my child.

Best of luck to all these kids, development, athletes, everyone, as they enter college at such a tumultuous time.

Duke has a 12 Billion Dollar endowment. Even at 5% interest that is $600 million per year in interest. On top of that, full pay families at Duke like the kid we are talking about will have a total estimated four year total cost of attendance at 372K. The fact that public funds are given to these private institutions is ridiculous. Time for Duke and these other schools to cut the fat.

You are a dumbass. Do you want the US to remain a leader in biotech, medtech, and other innovation-dependent industries? How do you think that happens? Solely through Elon Musk and the private sector? Dumbass.

You are obviously highly politically polarized and can't debate without using demeaning language. If we were speaking in person I can guarantee you that you would be using a different tone.

2019 settlement for falsified research data

Misconduct: In 2019, Duke agreed to pay the U.S. government $112.5 million to settle a whistleblower lawsuit alleging that it knowingly submitted fraudulent data to obtain federal grants from the NIH and EPA.

Details: A former Duke lab analyst alleged that a researcher had falsified data regarding mouse lung function between 2006 and 2013.

Resolution: Duke paid the settlement but did not admit liability. It also implemented new oversight measures for its research practices.

Stop assuming all these institutions are being altruistic. And yes, you can funnel more of these monies to the private sector or better yet, public universities.

I await your next “dumbass” comment.
