There are other upsides to the reinvented Yardfest. Focusing on undergraduates will prevent it from being a Springfest-esque kiddy carnival that leaves 20-year-olds bored and disinterested. It will take place in the Yard, a much larger and more communal location than the MAC quad. Most dining halls will be closed, a technique that helped increase turnout to the Harvard State Fair...
...players live in one house, all Duke athletes must be able to do so, thereby suggesting some type of special treatment when throwing parties. Nothing can be further from the truth. Because students can only block in small groups, Duke athletes, like Harvard athletes, are spread out in every quad. Simply put, there are no sports sections in quads, and the only visible living groups are fraternities.

Prochaska could not be reached for comment this weekend, but according to a Chronicle of Higher Education report, Prochaska was invited to return to the paper...
