Message: [QUOTE="WoadBlue, post: 1600542, member: 1145"] 'Fair' to whom? Here is a fact: Dook, because of of its size and its alums spread across the country and the make up of Durham racially, will never have any shot to average even 40,000 per game at Wallace Wade. It is unfair to Dook football to try to force it to build its brand the same way that state schools do. Any state school must build its brand on Home games - on getting its alums and fans to its stadium in as large numbers as possible as often as possible. But that pattern forced on Dook, or Wake, dooms. Dook football will gain more, and thus be of more value to the ACC, by playing its Home games vs., say, ND away from Wallace Wade than in it. Dook 'hosting' ND in Philly will have twice as many people in the stands as Dook vs. ND in Durham. Dook playing in Philly should get a number of its northeastern basketball fans to show up and, due to the pageantry, help it recruit the northeast better for football. [/QUOTE]
