The Walter Camp Coach of the Year is selected by the nation’s 125 Football Bowl Subdivision head coaches and sports information directors. Cutcliffe is the first Duke coach to receive the award, and the first honoree from the ACC since 2001 (Ralph Friedgen, Maryland). Under Cutcliffe’s direction, the 20th-ranked Blue Devils have set a school record with 10 victories and earned their first-ever berth in the Dr. Pepper ACC Championship Game. Duke clinched the Coastal Division title and championship game berth with a 27-25 victory over in-state rival North Carolina on November 30. Duke (10-2, 6-2 in the Coastal Division) will face top-ranked Florida State (12-0) on Saturday, December 7 in Charlotte, N.C. The Blue Devils enter the game with an eight-game winning streak – the program’s longest since 1941. In addition, the Blue Devils cracked the BCS standings for the first time this season, and were a perfect 4-0 in the month of November (after going 1-19 in the month from 2008 to 2012). Cutcliffe was hired as Duke’s 21st coach on December 15, 2007.

INTRODUCTION Collegiate athletics has become big business in America, generating billions of dollars each year. Division I-A' football and men's basketball are among the most popular sports in America, and they are the revenue generators in collegiate athletics. Central Broadcasting Systems (CBS) and the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) are currently under an eleven-year, $6 billion contract for the television broadcast rights for the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament.2 Fox is paying $330 million for the right to broadcast the Fiesta, Sugar, and Orange Bowls from 2007-2010 and the right to broadcast the college football national championship games from 2007-2009. 3 With so much money spent on collegiate football and men's basketball, it appears that successful programs in these sports offer universities an opportunity to generate significant revenue.

  • Rich Rodriguez – Jumping Has Legal Consequences
    deference to state high school athletic associations and educational institutions regardless of the adverse effects on students who are deemed ineligible to participate in interscholastic athletics, reflects the judiciary’s strong desire to avoid interfering with and micromanaging the high school educational process.69 In a forthcoming article Professor Timothy Davis and I have proposed that a high school or college athlete should be denied an opportunity to participate in a sport only if doing so actually furthers a legitimate objective of the governing body or a school such as ensuring academic integrity, maintaining competitive balance and fair play, or promoting appropriate standards of conduct.70 In summary, United States law does not establish any constitutionally protected or fundamental right to participate in sports. Nevertheless, Olympic and professional athletes are provided a means to seek independent de novo review of eligibility decisions, usually through a system of private arbitration. In contrast, despite the significant benefits of participation in intercollegiate or interscholastic sports competition, U.S. courts almost uniformly refuse to recognize a legally protected interest in interscholastic or intercollegiate athletic participation or apply more than very limited rational basis scrutiny of student-athlete eligibility determinations unless there is exclusion or discrimination prohibited on constitutional or statutory grounds. ___________ 69. Wooten v. Pleasant Hope R-VI Sch. Dist., 139 F.Supp.2d 835, 843 (W.D. Mo. 2000); Jones, 197 Cal.App.3d 751, 757 (1988) (Stating “schools themselves are far the better agencies to devise rules and restrictions governing extracurricular activities.
