Pye was the Dean of Duke law school. He shared a bottle of bourbon with the dean of my law school about what the job entails. In his defense, his marching orders from the Methodist Church were, no more scandals.

The Methodist Church had little to do with university policy. Pye was an anti-big time sports guy from the word go. He was brought in by a then newly powerful group of anti Division 1 faculty who had been waiting for the opportunity to dump football for years. He was their guy. A small group of alums held the whole thing together financially for years. Remember the "Cornerstone Package?" A lot of us committed to 4 years of pre-purchased season tickets in order to show Pye that someone cared about being Division 1. He did little to reciprocate, especially when he told the world and all recruits at a press conference that we did not intend to compete for the SWC title on a year-in-year-out basis.

He referred to them as...... you ready for this?
