    Further evidence of their out-of-touchness.

    I was thinking maybe they were too afraid to even theoretically imply that the sacred cow of the Research Triangle was in any way blemished. Either that, or they have proof that Duke basketball players are gay.

    Can I ask, in all seriousness, what in hell that's supposed to mean?

    It's because they didn't want to get the all-powerful Mike Krzyzewski upset.

    Duke professors have always been great back peddlers. It's been the hands that have held them back from playing in Ted Roof's Cover 2 secondary all these years.

    If you concede that the ad "does assume that the event happened," in your words, then it, by your definition, robs the accused of their resumption of innocence.

    Of course Duke has a football team. The coach is Owen Twelve...
