<p>DUKE FOOTBALL - excellence on the field</p>
<p>Since 1994, however, Duke’s football program has declined, with the team lacking a winning season since. From 1999 to 2007, Duke’s football win-loss record was at 13-90;[3] from 2005 to 2007 Duke suffered a 22-game losing streak.[4] In 2008, a judge ruled in favor of Duke after they pulled out of a four-game contract with the University of Louisville; the judge stated that it was up to Louisville to find a suitable replacement as he wrote, in the ruling, that any Division I team would be equivalent or better.[3] Duke’s 2009 season gave them five wins and seven losses, the closest the school has come to bowl eligibility since 1994.[5]</p>
