PAGE2009 1 OUTLOOK G PAGE 1 In 2003, Duke University re-joined approximately 50 other Southern universities in presenting the Algernon Sydney Sullivan Award. This award program, sponsored by the Algernon Sydney Sullivan Foundation, recognizes one graduating senior for his or her outstanding commitment to service. Greg Akinbiyi (right), a four- year letterman at defensive end for the Blue Devils, received the honor in April, 2009. “When I came here I realized I could make a difference. I’m at Duke University. I never imagined coming to a university like this. And then having the opportunity to give back, to really engage people, instead of just playing video games and going to practice all day — it was something that really challenged me.”

We are proud to call Steve and Bob members of the Duke football family. The maxim for our program is the “Pursuit of Excellence”, and certainly Steve and Bob exemplify that motto themselves. This fi nancial commitment, especially considering the current state of the economy, is truly remarkable and speaks volumes to their loyalty and passion for Duke.”

Through the support of the Duke family and others, in 1892 the school – renamed Trinity College – was moved to Durham on what is now East Campus.

„ In 1924, Trinity College, a long-time benefi ciary of Duke family generosity, became the nucleus of Duke University. With $21 million provided by James B. Duke as a memorial to his father, and the donation of land by Julian S. Carr, West Cam- pus was created and East Campus was rebuilt.

„ Today, the Georgian architecture of East Campus and the Gothic-styled West Campus are part of a 9,350-acre campus that includes two undergraduate schools – Trinity college of Arts and Sciences and the Pratt School of Engineering – as well as eight gradu- ate and professional schools, the world-renowned Duke University Medical Center, the 7,900-acre , and the beautiful 55-acre Sarah P. Duke Gardens.

„ Duke offers one of the most dynamic under- graduate academic experiences in the world. There are many different choices with majors, minors, certifi cate programs, Focus clusters and fi rst-year seminars. The Duke education is structured and fl exible, classic and contemporary, theoretical and realistic. Come with an open and curious mind, a readiness to challenge and to be challenged, and a willingness to take chances.

„ Located in the heart of North Carolina’s rolling region, Durham stands out as a gem among southern cities. Through the years, the city has evolved from a tobacco and textile town into an international center for medicine, scholarship, biotechnology and electronics.

„ Founded in 1853, Durham is widely recognized for its diversity. Originally a manufacturing center, the city now is known for excellence in medicine, education, research and industry.

Within the im- mediate area it stands as the pinnacle of the “Triangle” region of North Carolina, a metropolitan population of 1,000,000 people that includes Chapel Hill to the south and west and Raleigh, the state capital, to the south and east. On a regional level, this area is the primary center of culture, sports, education and government between Washington, D.C., and Atlanta.

„ With excellent sports and cultural activities in the area, Durham is a fun place to be. People from all walks of life — academic, industrial, professional, agricultural — blend to provide a warm, rich sense of hospitality and diversity.

PAGE2009 25 OUTLOOK G PAGE 25 From the mountains to the west and the beaches of the Atlantic Ocean to the east, North Carolina’s landscape is as diverse — and beautiful — as any state in the nation.

Millions of tourists come to North Carolina each year to take advantage of all the state has to offer.

2009 OUTLOOK G PAGEPAGE 26 26 „ North Carolina is a state of diversity — diversity in its population, in its economic production and in its beautiful scenery. According to the 2000 census, North Carolina was the home to more than eight million people of many nationalities.

„ Known for its major production of tobacco, North Carolina is also a major producer of textiles and fur- niture, fueled by the thousands of acres of forests that cover the state. Among its other leading products are broilers, hogs, turkeys, greenhouse products, sweet potatoes, corn, soybeans, peanuts and eggs. In addition, there are hundreds of coastal fi sheries that yield shrimp, menhaden and crabs as the primary catches.

„ The scenery throughout the state is diverse and beautiful. From the mountains to the west and the beaches adjoining the Atlantic Ocean to the east, North Carolina is one of the nation’s most pic- turesque states. Some of the major attractions in the state include the Great Smoky Moun- tains, the Blue Ridge National Parkway, the Cape Hatteras and Cape Lookout National Seashores, the Wright Brothers National Me- morial at Kitty Hawk, Guilford Courthouse and Moores Creek National Military Parks. This scenery, enhanced by a mild climate with enough rainfall to assist with the state’s abundant greenery, attracts millions of visitors who come to North Carolina annually to take advantage of its clean and uncluttered beaches, its string of forests and the mountain ranges in the western part of the state.

„ In recent years, North Carolina has become a favor- ite place for the entertainment industry. Some of the television shows and movies fi lmed in North Carolina include Cast Away (2001), The Green Mile (1999), Daw- son’s Creek (1997-2003), Kiss the Girls (1997), I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997), Forrest Gump (1998), The Fugitive (1993), The Last of the Mohicans (1992), Sleeping with the Enemy (1991), Bull Durham (1988) and Dirty Dancing (1987).

2009 OUTLOOK G PAGEPAGE 42 42 „ Wallace Wade Stadium, home of the since 1929, ranks among the finest collegiate football in the nation. It has been the home for 18 conference championship teams, eight bowl squads, 57 All-America players and over 200 Blue Devil victories.

„ Named for legendary Duke head coach Wallace Wade, Duke’s stadium is one of the most comfortable in the Atlantic Coast Conference. The horseshoe-shaped structure, nestled among the greenery and towering pines of the surrounding Duke forest, features aluminum bench seating, newly remodeled rest rooms, a lighting system for evening and night games and a modern, computerized video scoreboard installed in 1998 and renovated in 2009.

„ The facility was known as Duke Stadium when it opened for the fi rst time on October 5, 1929. The University of Pittsburgh defeated Duke in that fi rst game, but since that time the Blue Devils have enjoyed a winning edge on their home turf. Duke owns a record of 209-170-7 in games played there, with 58 of the victories coming by shutout. The stadium seats 33,941 fans, making it an intimate — and picturesque — setting for bigtime college football.

„ In July of 1967, Duke’s Board of Trustees approved the renaming of the stadium to honor Wade, who coached the Devils to a 110-36-7 record and two Rose Bowls. The dedication took place September 30, 1967.

„ Several improvements have been made to the stadium throughout the years, but none more important than the construction of the Yoh Football Center on the stadium’s northeast corner. The Yoh Football Center, featuring new weight, training, meeting and locker rooms, an indoor workout facility, offi ces, an academic support area and a memorabilia area honoring Duke’s football tradition, became the home to the Duke football program during the summer of 2002. It provides current and future Blue Devils with state-of-the-art facilities that compare favorably to any program in the nation.

„ Prior to the 2009 season, Duke constructed new restroom facilities and concession stands on the concourse. In addition, construction was completed on the new Brooks Football Building, which serves as the cornerstone of the Brooks Practice Facility,

„ Duke’s home games, played at historic Wallace Wade Stadium, offer the pageantry only felt on a college football Saturday. In terms of media exposure, Duke hosts in excess of 75 media members at each home game. Since 1997, Duke has appeared on either national or regional television at least fi ve times in each of those 13 seasons.

„ Head coach David Cutcliffe’s goal of resurrecting Duke’s proud football tradition appears to be on track. The gameday experience, like the one at Duke, is an integral part of Cutcliffe’s equation to lead the Blue Devils back to national prominence.

„ In 2008, Cutcliffe instituted the Blue Devil Walk, where the team ventures from the historic Chapel on West Campus to the Yoh Football Center prior to kickoff. Lining the path to the lockerroom, fans interact with and welcome the players as the Duke community readies for another exciting game in Wallace Wade Stadium.

And that is not mere conjecture, the numbers support it.

„ Since the league’s inception in 1953, ACC schools have captured 113 national championships, including 60 in wom- en’s competition and 53 in men’s. In addition, NCAA indi- vidual titles have gone to ACC student-athletes 145 times in men’s competition and 92 times in women’s action.

„ The conference had an immediate impact on the national college football scene in the fall of 1953 when the University of Maryland captured the fi rst of what would eventually be fi ve national football titles for the ACC. Clemson laid claim to the league’s second national title in 1981 while Georgia Tech followed suit in 1990. Florida State pocketed national titles No. 4 and 5 in 1993 and 1999, respectively. Addition- ally, Miami has laid claim to fi ve national gridiron titles over the past 22 seasons.

„ This past season nine ACC players earned fi rst team All-America recognition, while six others garnered second or third team honors. The 12 institutions that take to the fi eld this fall under the ACC banner have produced 547 fi rst or second team gridiron All-Americans and 73 fi rst team academic All-Americans.

„ Since becoming a 12-team league in 2005, the ACC has consistently made history in the NFL’s annual professional football draft. In this past year’s draft the ACC had four of the top nine players chosen. In the past four years, no other league has achieved that feat and the ACC has accomplished it twice (also in 2006).

„ The 12 current ACC schools have had 2,190 players selected in the annual professional football draft, including 222 fi rst round selections. If success is best measured in terms of wins and losses, then the ACC over the years has proven itself to be among the elite in Division I-A football. In 2008, the ACC won more non-conference games than ever before, posting a 41-17 record including 17-14 (.548 winning percentage) against teams from the SEC, Big Ten, PAC-10, Big 12 and Big East Conferences.

„ ACC Football was also No. 1 with a diploma in 2008 as the Conference, according to the NCAA, led all Football Bowl Subdivision Conferences in graduation rate and APR.

„ Quarterback Jerry Barger was the fi rst Blue Devil to receive the prestigious honor after lead- ing Duke to an 8-2-1 record, the ACC title and a berth in the Orange Bowl in 1954. Five years later, guard Mike McGee captured the award on his way to winning the Outland Trophy as the nation’s top lineman.

„ After halfback Jay Wilkinson picked up the citation in 1963 by scoring 12 touchdowns, Duke had back-to-back winners with defensive back Ernie Jackson (1971) and running back Steve Jones (1972).

„ In the decade of the 1980s, four Blue Devils were crowned as wide receiver Chris Castor (1982), quarterback Ben Bennett (1983), quarter- back Anthony Dilweg (1988) and wide receiver Clarkston Hines (1989) claimed the trophy.

„ In essence, the mission of the sports medicine program at Duke is to combine the latest innovations and technology in injury recognition, prevention, treatment and performance enhancement with an outstanding collection of doctors, certifi ed athletic trainers and other support personnel to give the Blue Devil student-athlete a quality experience while at Duke.

„ Dr. Claude T. Moorman III, former head team physician for the NFL’s Baltimore Ravens, serves as Duke’s head team physician. A 1987 graduate from the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, he returned to Duke after serving as the Director of Sports Medicine at the University of Maryland Medical Center from 1996-2001. Moorman played football at Duke before graduating in 1983.

„ The Duke athletic training staff is headed by Dave Engelhardt, now in his 28th season at Duke, and Hap Zarzour, who is in his 17th year as the head football trainer.

„ In the summer of 2002, Duke opened its newest training room in the Yoh Football Center. It is a 5,500 square- foot facility, featuring extensive hydrotherapy system, rehabilitation and treatment areas. The hydrotherapy area includes a 10 x 20 multidepth rehabilitation pool featuring an underwater treadmill, an 8 x 8 chiller pool and an 8 x 8 warm whirlpool.

„ The treatment area is highlighted by modern modalities and the latest technological equipment. Duke’s new rehabilitation equipment ensures constant monitoring and thoughtful progression through every stage of rehabilitation. An unweighted treadmill and Biodex muscle testing and rehabilitation equipment is also featured in Duke’s rehabilitation area.

„ Other facets of the sports medicine program include the very best training meals, monitored by sports nutritionist Franca Alphin and team meal coordinator Faye McIntosh, and the ability to utilize the resources of the Duke Sports Medicine Center. Those resources include The Duke Sports Medicine Clinic, Michael Krzyzewski Human Performance Lab (K-Lab) and the Duke Sports Performance Program.
