[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]David Rubenstein. JB Pritzker, John Mack, Adam Silver, new mayor of SF, etc.

I am not beginning to argue that Duke is even close to Harvard on this. But there are some.[/quote]
Most people have never heard of any of these guys. [/quote]

Way to broadcast your ignorance then. Greater than zero chance Pritzker is our next potus. Wouldn’t bet my life on it. And Rubenstein is crazy rich from Carlyle plus super philanthropic plus I think does some interview show. Every boy knows Adam Silver.

I love the know it all dcum contrarians who in their effort to prove how witty they are just showcase their ignorance.

And again, I’m not saying Duke is close to Harvard.

Btw, one can make a good argument for Penn. Not all morally upstanding people but they have Trump, Musk, new ceo of Apple, and Sundar Pichai got his mba there. Not bad.[/quote]

The point is not that Duke doesn't have famous alumni...but rather anyone who didn't attend has to do a google search for them...other than the famous basketball players.

I didn't go to Harvard yet was able to rattle off 10 famous grads off the top of my head.  Just saying the Harvard brand is powerful in that it's prominent in their back story.  I just now am thinking of Gabby Thomas who like every time she ran in the Olympics they would comment on her being a Harvard grad.  I doubt if she went to literally any other school if the announcers would have constantly mentioned it (though probably if she went to MIT or CalTech or another top ranked D3 school...considering I doubt any D3 track stars have ever made an olympic team in recent years).[/quote]
