Why Duke Isn't Worrying Too Much About TV Revenues
From Barry Jacobs at the Raleigh News and Observer:
Quote:Supporters of Duke athletics have rushed to fund a vision that’s been almost a decade in reaching fruition, embodied in a 2008 blueprint modestly titled “Unrivaled Ambition: A Strategic Plan for Duke Athletics.” An athletic fundraising effort launched in 2012 sought a quarter of a billion dollars to realize the plan’s goals. Already it’s brought in a staggering $350 million, $100 million beyond its original target, with 11 months to go in the campaign. ...
In virtually one gulp, Duke has added a quarter of a million square feet of new structures at its athletic core. That square footage doesn’t count numerous Olympic sport improvements, among them a new East Campus softball stadium for Duke’s 27th team. Thanks to the ongoing fundraising effort, many Olympic sports anticipate an infusion of scholarship support, presently a $21 million annual athletic department expense at $70,000 per head. Olympic athletes are already using their own 13,000-square-foot workout and training facility in the new Brooks Center across the plaza from Cameron.
