Should We Be Flattered?

[Bkocats]

The why of doing charitable things may be the most insignificant part of it. Whether it's for pure desire to do good, to impress a chick, to put yourself in the headlines, or because somebody you envy did it... Whatever the reason, it makes no difference. The end result of getting somebody help who desperately needs it is the only thing that matters. Like somebody said before me, the money raised will spend the same no matter why.

Helping people trumps basketball/recruiting wars. Good lord some people need some perspective.

Don't think the ones in Houston who receive assistance give a rats ass who's fundraiser the money came from. Let's not be so petty.

OMG. I'm embarrassed for some of you right now.

Hopefully there are already people planning to raise funds for Hurricane Irma as she is about to blast Florida and South Carolina. Bless those in her path.

All of this

SMH. Some people.

All of this

It's so moronic those comments don't deserve to be addressed. Luckily for them ignorance like that isn't banned or put in a time out.

All Dukies are going to hell.

Go Duke

No.
As big of a prick as Coach K is, I do have to admit he is very good about giving his time and $ to charities.

I'd like to agree, but he is as phony as his self righteous program.

The people in Texas need all the help they can get. That being said the amount of moral pandering and virtue signaling in this thread is getting a little thick.
I'm just waiting for Coach K and crew to do a "We are the World" music video.

Winslow pledged his own money a week ago.

I believe Duke contacted him and thought it better to combine their efforts. Winslow's money is good, but getting more is better.

He pledged his OWN money well how the heck could he pledge someone elses ?

Amen. I think Joel Osteen made an appearance in this thread.

First Krzyzewski and Duke copied Cal and UK on one & done. Now I guess figuring that UK would be getting some positive press from raising money for Harvey victims, now they're copying us on this as well. I guess better late than never. Imitation is the greatest form of flattery.

Little brothers follow big brothers..UL next to follow

Not likely, they will want 75% of raised funds for their athletic department. Jurich will see to it.

 

[BBUK]

My two oldest are in the process of leaving Florida now. God is still in control....

 

[Kamuka]

Duke does copy UK a lot but imo this doesn't really count.

 

[CatGotMyTongue]

This thread ran off the rails ages ago

 

[kev69]

Look, I'm not a fan of Krysheski or Duke, but no matter what their motivation is, it's a good thing they're doing, and it's going to help people. And that's the only thing that matters.

 

[Federal Cat]

That's good that they did a fund raiser for people in need, but it's hard for me to say anything good about them, sorry not sorry.

 

[railroadkat_1]

I depends on what's in your heart. Are you doing it to help victims or to help yourself?

Actually I donated via UK and Cal telethon. This weekend via Church! These donations were from the heart as I can't imagine losing everything!

 

[2 skerz 3]

I sent some personal money to help the victims. Should I send Cal an apology for copying his program. The reputation of UK fans is justifiable by some of the nut jobs ITT alone. Good Grief...
