When I think of Duke, more than anything I will think of The Chronicle and 301 Flowers. Once you get beyond the general mess of the office—it has, after all, been passed down from generation to generation of college students—you realize that it is one of the most extraordinary places on campus.

The shocking allegations revealed at Penn State last week are a reminder of the crisis management required by universities when something related to athletics goes awry.
Ed Rickards is not a morning person, so he prefers not to be bothered before noon. He writes late at night next to an ice-cold bottle of water on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, where he lives. But when he says he lives there he doesn’t mean it in the sense most people do. Rickards spends more than 180 days each year out of the state in part to avoid the city’s high income taxes, and he rents his apartment of 38 years instead of buying it because rent control laws keep the price low. He likes knowing what the rules are and using them to his advantage.

Traveling on a chartered plane and staying in five-star hotels, on the surface, the trip sounded like a high-budget vacation. The Dagger, a Yahoo! Sports blog, wrote a story estimating the cost of the plane at $1.3 million, and Deadspin called the tour “pretty much the most Dook thing ever.” This sentiment seemed to oversimplify Duke’s ambitions for the trip.

DUBAI — There isn’t one recipe for the sort of Duke fan that would shell out $13,465 and take out two weeks to accompany the Blue Devils on their round-the-world excursion to China and the United Arab Emirates.
BEIJING, CHINA — Mike Krzyzewski and his team are used to being noticed. Even as their travel schedule takes them all over the U.S., they are recognized everywhere. They might have hoped for a respite as they traveled to another continent for the Friendship Games. But no such luck: In a country with more than 300 million people who play basketball, the Blue Devils aren’t any safer from adoring fans in China.
DUBAI — Despite a slow start to the final game of their international tour, the Blue Devils cruised to an easy victory over the United Arab Emirates national team.
SHANGHAI, CHINA— Sporting a new haircut, former Duke guard and No. 1 NBA draft pick Kyrie Irving met up with the Blue Devils during the afternoon Friday for the Nike Sports Festival. After playing soccer, tennis and baseball mini games around the perimeter of the Nike facility, the Duke players and coaching staff put on a clinic for a crowd filling the bleachers before scrimmaging members of the Chinese junior national team. The Chronicle’s Taylor Doherty caught up with Irving for a few minutes after the game.
