CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Changes throughout college athletics, amplifying the importance of revenue driven largely from football, only served to further drive home the point that Duke football needed major changes.
The Blue Devils have lost 17 of their past 18 ACC games over the past two seasons, a big reason why David Cutcliffe and his staff were let go and Mike Elko was hired last December.
With the SEC and Big Ten growing into superconferences, adding schools that bolster their football brands while risking the future of other conferences, Duke athletics director Nina King knows the Blue Devils need to fare better in that sport.
