OT: SUNY Albany won't play at Duke

[srru86]

I don't like mixing college athletics with a dirty business like politics. We'll see if more schools follow this lead.

NY Daily News
U of Albany won’t play Duke at Cameron Indoor Stadium as part of New York’s North Carolina travel ban

I saw this, but it's not the school's decision.

The ironic thing is Duke is a private school. I think the North Carolina bill only applies to public buildings such as schools and government offices. Man you have to love politics.

Duck Fuke!!!

Gsme was part of early round tournament, it was replaced by Marist visiting Cameron

Albany should offered to have Duke visit them.

What do you think the answer to that would have been?

Also, Duke is a host team for the tournament. I believe they have games back to back days, so that would not have worked out.

No s-it, Sherlock. I was mocking Duke's refusal to play non-conderence road games.

Maybe the Great Danes will come to the RAC instead?

Duke would only play in Albany if one of their players was from the area.

Frankly both sides are completely wrong and nothing needed to be done. Charlotte and North Carolina should have just left that time of stuff of to the school boards and private companies instead of passing law at the city and state level.
