[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Duke are The Blue Devils for a reason. Founded by Northerners. It's a more Northern-feeling school benefiting from some aspects of the South. [/quote] ??? The Duke family were native North Carolinians with deep roots in Durham, North Carolina. Even when J.B. Duke, heir to Washington Duke's tobacco fortune and the founder of American Tobacco, moved his residence to New Jersey/New York, most of his tobacco mills, textile mills, and energy plants (i.e. his industrial base) still remained in North Carolina. Doris Duke could properly be called a Yankee heiress, but J.B. Duke, the one who endowed Trinity College into Duke, was more of a Southern nouveau riche robber baron than a Yankee industrialist.
