Here is a posting from the Duke Football Parents Facebook page about setting up a meal delivery. Anyone interested in chipping in to send a meal from crazietalk? There is one option for the number of people they need to serve (11) - a lasagna dinner for $175 which includes shipping. I would be happy to coordinate if several people want to contribute.

Please pray for Nancy Connette, Brandon's mom. She has undergone surgery to remove a brain tumor. Please pray for healing and peace for the family. If you would like to help with a meal, you can order one to be delivered. If you would like to help, follow this link. http://www.takethemameal.com/meals.php?t=RKGD3196

Under a strict interpretation of the rules, I think it could be construed as a violation. I found this on the Duke Compliance page for athletes.

I've sent an email to the folk in the Compliance Office seeking their opinion.
