DURHAM, N.C. (AP) -- Duke is investigating whether an NCAA recruiting rule was violated when coach Mike Krzyzewski reportedly offered a scholarship to a recruit during a summer tournament.

Forward Alex Poythress told CBSSports.com that Krzyzewski spoke to him earlier this week while he was in Orlando, Fla., for a tournament with his AAU team, the Georgia Stars, and offered him a scholarship.

NCAA rules prevent coaches from contacting recruits before they are finished playing in tournaments.

Duke spokesman Jon Jackson said in a statement Saturday that the school is gathering facts and that "proper adherence to NCAA bylaws has always been, and will continue to be, a cornerstone of Duke Athletics."

1. No no no

Coach K would never violate any rules. He's entirely too saint like.
If I was a gambling man, I'd bet my house that nothing will happen with this incident. It will just go away and we will never hear about it again.

2. Suck on it

You're just jealous because Duke has hosted one more Rose Bowl than Ohio State.

3. What the hell are you talking about, Francis??

Duke doesn't really even play football. They may try, but they really don't. Dumbass.

4. And yet they've hosted more Rose Bowls than OSU

5. He's not kidding

The government prohibited large public gatherings on the West Coast during World War II out of the fear the Japanese would attack them. The first event to be moved was the 1942 Rose Bowl.

So that there would be a Rose Bowl that year, it was moved from the Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena to Duke's football field. The Beavers of Oregon State played Duke...and, as you'd expect, Duke lost.
