I've always wondered how they track meal money. I know for a fact that in DII at least, when going to a tournament where you're staying overnight, players get an envelope for meal money and they spend it at their discretion in between regular team meals. Wasn't a large amount and some guys would hit up the dollar menu at McD's and then to the mall for some new gear or CDs (I'm old), but I've always wondered if its the same thing when these guys go to say, the ACC tourney, do they get an envelope for "meal money" and what would stop them from adding a couple of extra crisp c-notes from a "friend of the program" to said envelope?I maintain and will always maintain that Duke has cheated throughout Coach K's tenure.
They do it better than everyone else. Think about it folks... their graduates are some of the most powerful people in business, the banking system, the legal system and our political system in the whole country (and the whole world).
You don't think they figured out how to set up a system to funnel benefits to kids in a way that you could never, ever implicate Coach K or his staff? And totally insulate him when really bad things happened?
They have the connections and the money to sweep anything that came up under the rug. Only the Ivy League schools and Stanford have as many connected people as Duke. And unlike at public universities such as UConn, it is much easier for private colleges to insulate themselves when bad things happen.
Examples right off the top of my head: Corey Meggette (accused of rape), Lance Thomas (accused of theft) and Rasheed Sulaimon (accused of sexual assault). All major crimes that just faded away as if they never happened. Other "smaller" incidents over the years as well. As much as Michael Avenatti turned out to be a piece of crap, you don't think there was at least some truth to his claims? Riiiiiight.

Duke said it will "look into" the attorney's allegations.www.complex.com
And all the while, Father Flanagan (Coach K) acting so freaking sanctimonous, backed up by his good buddy and #1 ass-kisser Dickie V.
That, along with their insufferable fans is why I have always disliked them the most of any team in college basketball.
Would love to see the book thrown at them... but sadly, at least as long as Krzyzewski is there, it won't happen.
Has anyone on this board played DI hoops and can regale us with tales of life on the road?
