- Just how crazy is the basketball money at Duke? To find out, I visited a six-story ziggurat called the Schwartz-Butters Athletics Center. It towers over Cameron Indoor Stadium and a new $18.5 million structure known as the Michael W. Krzyzewski Center for Academic and Athletic Excellence, where the men’s and women’s basketball players practice and lift weights, and where all of the university’s 620 athletes in 26 sports can come to work on their studies.
I'm about to go to my first Duke Basketball game in a few minutes. I'm not a big basketball fan and I'm certainly no Duke fan, but I wanted to check it out. Someone's got to root for Boston College, right?
