Duke University has decided to free next year’s recruits from the letters of intent because of the recent rape scandal. Four incoming players have already decided to go elsewhere, and who could blame them. However the scandal turns out, it’s probably not a good time to be on the Duke lacrosse team even if they are exonerated. They’ll be scrutinized for every little thing next year and life isn’t going to be the party it once was.
On the bright side, (because there is always a bright side… unless you’re a Phillies fan) the Duke lax T-shirts are jumping off the shelves at the university store. Either people are showing support for the lacrosse team or it’s the Ironic T-Shirt du jour.

Funny and to the point — These shirts are great! Funny and blunt to the point. It’s funny because it’s true, I hope someone send Mike Nifong one of these shirts. It would be great to have guys where these shirt at the trial!
