Their headline on Okafor's announcement: "Okafor to join elite Duke list of one-and-doners".

Every other announcement I've seen - if they get a headline - is "X forgoes college, jumping pro" or something to that effect. But when it's Duke, it's "elite". Not a big deal, but kind of demonstrates a mindset.

There is absolutely a 'Duke can do no wrong' mentality at ESPN, but what's funny is to see UNC fans complain about it because for the most part (reveal: I'm a KU fan) I think there is a heavy ACC-bias in general at ESPN that also favors UNC.
