Even if Duke had left early in the day to go to Chapel Hill, they wouldn't have made it back to Durham after the game. Freezing rain and ice are no joke anywhere but when you don't have the ability to take care of it, forget it.wait one second. they still have to get from the airport to the Dome. I have heard that Carolina teams have trouble going 8 miles.
I doubt there is a rule on when the team arrives. Think about all the smaller D1 schools that take a bus everywhere, I'm sure there are delays often.
