I…do not know what to say. How did Duke keep a lid on this (if they knew about it at all)?

Everyone involved had an vested interest to keep this under the lid before the draft.

Seriously wtf do you do in that situation as the school though

You don’t want to punish him for it, but could they at least have banned her from the gym? But would that just have isolated him more? And going public about it hurts him too.

What a bizarre and fucked up situation

I'm pretty sure we did the best we can to salvage the basketball side of things.
