The Blue Devils are on to the Elite Eight, and March Madness brings everything to the big stage, including some of the quirky, punny and sometimes surprising NIL deals that athletes have. Here, the Blue Zone will be ranking some of the worst, best and punniest NIL deals.
In the sixth episode of her show “Sue’s Places,” Sue Bird sat down with Coach K and JJ Redick ahead of Duke’s home game against North Carolina. The Blue Zone is here to break down the conversation:
Krzyzewskiville, or K-Ville, has been a second home for Cameron Crazies since 1986.
As the Cameron Crazies gear up for Rivalry Week, the tent city in K-Ville has come down. But this year, the famous Duke tradition looked a little bit different.
For over a month each winter, K-Ville becomes a makeshift city occupied by hundreds of undergraduate students.

Between the months of January and March every year, two patches of grass in Duke’s athletic quarter fill up with tents occupied by undergraduate students camping out for tickets to the men’s basketball game against hated rival North Carolina at Cameron Indoor Stadium.
With conference play freshly underway, No. 11 Duke was favored as it took on two ACC opponents at home this weekend.
The residents of “Mitchell-in Star Restaurant,” who are all seniors, have been tenting for three years. Blake Morris, who met his fellow tenters through Duke Wesleyan, ran through miscellaneous knowledge as he waited for the doors to this year’s ordering test to open at the K Center behind Cameron Indoor Stadium. A fun fact off the top of his head?
It’s the week after Valentine’s Day, and perhaps you — like thousands of other students at Duke — are still single and contemplating if you’ll ever be loved. You are not alone: Marriages are in decline. Birth rates are down. Depression and isolation are at record levels in the United States. In 2023, the US “epidemic of loneliness” was declared a public health crisis. All around, people are more disconnected. But never fear — as always, a group of Duke CS majors has developed a solution.
And in a blink of an eye, it was all over. After a season full of so much hope, everything fell apart with remarkable speed. Less than 24 hours after a triumphant victory over Pitt, Blue Devils football coach Mike Elko stepped on a private jet headed for College Station, Texas, to sign a contract as the new Texas A&M head coach. Soon after, a cascade of Blue Devils hit the transfer portal, making it clear that the Elko Era was officially over. Those happy memories of storming the field after knocking off Clemson, getting hyped for College Gameday and savoring back-to-back bowl victories are now all things of the past.
Duke Student Government senators convened Wednesday to approve funds in hopes of making Personal Checks, an annual Krzyzewskiville tenting party, safer for students.
The annual hoard of Duke students has erected dozens of tents in front of Wilson on their journey from the comfort of their dorm rooms to the brutal, not quite freezing (grace below 32 degrees) conditions of the great North Carolina wilderness of Krzyzewskiville. The tradition of rejecting heat and sleep for a tightly-squeezed, uncomfortable viewing experience of the Duke-UNC basketball game dates back over 30 years. This year, however, major changes from line monitors means tenting might look a little different.
It was an iconic lob to Erik Meek that earned Bobby Hurley the record for assists in the NCAA. Meek jumped up, caught the pass in the paint and put in a layup. Hurley didn’t smile, but the crowd inside Cameron Indoor Stadium went wild.
When Millie Caughey was accepted into Duke as a Robertson Scholar, her friend asked her for her thoughts on Zion ... Williamson, that is. She thought they were asking about the National Park.
Line monitors and players and coaching staff on the men’s basketball team spoke to tenters about promoting diversity, equity and inclusion in Krzyzewskiville at K-Ville's first-ever DEI town hall.
The last lap in Mario Kart when the music speeds up. That critical stretch of a football game after the two-minute warning. The last 0.2 miles of a 26.2-mile marathon. All three make an apt comparison to the hectic pace of the final few weeks of the semester between Thanksgiving and Winter Break. With finals, projects, shopping and holiday social gatherings all crammed into a few short weeks, the sentiments of joy and gratitude which are supposed to define this season get pushed to the wayside.
Students gathered on Abele Quad Nov. 11, to take part in Old Duke 2023, an annual concert run by Duke University Union (DUU), where Icona Pop made their long-awaited return to Duke after four years.
Duke Student Government senators met Wednesday to approve updated Krzyzewskiville tenting policies for the Duke-North Carolina game, give updates on committee progress and allocate over $10,000 in funding for various student groups.
Every year, hundreds of undergraduates stay in tents outside Krzyzewskiville in hopes of seeing the Duke men’s basketball team face off against North Carolina in Cameron Indoor Stadium. Graduate students have a different process.
