Column: I'm a fan, as long as athletes show me the money
(12/05/02 5:00am)
I was thoroughly upset when Duke lost in the last few seconds of a close game to the Indiana Hoosiers in the Sweet 16 last year. Did I just say I gave a damn about Duke basketball? I must admit that I am not a fan of sports. Everyone I know can confirm this. So, why was I yelling at the TV on March 21, you ask? I soon realized after first arriving in Durham that Duke's athletic program is one of its greatest assets as a University. It's that time of year again when the Cameron Crazies are let out of their pen. The attention that many of Duke's athletic teams and their fanatical fans bring to the University benefits each and every one of us.
