That's the thing, it was never a program to begin with. Cut is building a program. Right now, RIGHT NOW, Duke needs to start contruction of the indoor practice facility and lay out definite plans for other enhancement of facilities. If it does not, we will lose Cutcliffe. No doubt in my mind. He's been here for almost a year now and not one shovel full of dirt has been moved, no concrete plans have been presented publicly. It is put up or shut up time.
