WF was founded by the NC Baptist Convention. Even though I don't think it is central to University life anymore, the association is still very important. Baptist Hospital for example. Duke was founded by the Methodist Church - though few would associate the two anymore - yet the seminary turns out theologians and there is beautiful Duke Chapel.

(FYI to those who don't know - both schools also moved locations - Duke from Randolph County in the 20's and WF from Wake Forest 50 years ago.)

I've been wanting to ask this question and it seems to fit in here:

I've heard the reason many schools recruit out of state players is to increase the value of scholarships. In other words, if out of state is worth $5,000 a semester and instate $1,000, the average cost to attend as a ball player is increased the more OOS's on the roster. 25% of 3,000 is a better offer. Obviously this is more relevant to state schools, but it makes sense to me. I just don't know if it is true.
