On Monday, two youths did even go out onto the end court during a game half time and approached Duke’s Coach K, for autographs. Coach K was sitting at a table right up front center. After getting their autographs, they were removed from the end court area. But, I think that was it. No ejection, no police or security swarming.

What would have happened to you if you did that?

An officer came up to me in a crowd of about 20 people and said something like “I think you are doing this for profit, and I have the right as an officier of this school to remove you from the premices” I had not even ever asked for an autograph. I was just standing there with a group of about 20 people – mostly kids – and I am a middle aged man.

I should have asked him if the school condones profiles of people, and discrimination against me. I think it is fair to treat everyone the same, just do not treat me differently. I think if you are at this event and are a kid, that is ok. But and adult, no. The same officer did not say anything when kids asked for autographs right in front of him.

Profit. Let’s see. I wanted one Jabari Parker autograph. I took a day of vacation, dorve 3 1/2 hours each way to get to the event, gas, a ticket, lost pay. I figure right about $ 500.00 of cost. So how is that profit.

I have said for 20 years, the only one making a profit for autographs are the ones sitting home and forging them. And that is why I get them myself, I do not trust it unless I get it in person.

The school needs to make sure they treat all patrons equal.
