Hi,
I have always just given money to the academic side of Duke because I felt that was the purpose of the University--to educate. The LAX fiasco made me start to seriously doubt my desire to give funds while the current President presides (this note is not about him, this is just to let you know how I am getting to where I am). Nevertheless, I continue to give each year to the academic side of the house.
I realize that Duke athletics gives me great joy. Thus, I have decided to consider giving to the Iron Dukes. A part of what has led me there is that if Duke is in the West and if Duke goes to Salt Lake City I would like to get tickets for the family, particularly for my nephew who is considering Duke very seriously and has the grades, SATs, etc. for possible admission. He even refers to Duke as "Uncle Kewlswim's Duke" (though he uses my real name).
I noticed there was a "Ticket Exchange" feature of being an Iron Duke. Furthermore, I don't know if Iron Dukes would travel as readily to Salt Lake City as some other locales. Has anyone ever used the Ticket Exchange? Would it include NCAA tickets or is it only for home tickets? If you need to move this to the "Ticket" area please do, I wasn't sure exactly where to put the post.
GO DUKE!
