Actually, it's a commercial. Don't you have a remote control?
No one watches commercials, especially kids under 18.
Plus if they did see it, I suspect they'd be just as annoyed as you were.
It might drive some players to NC!
Except that no one watches commercials.

It is a commercial to AE, it is a recruiting tool for Coach K. People do watch commercials, if no one watched commercials why in the hell would companies bother to spend hundreds of thousand and even millions on advertising if "No one watches commercials...". Sure I can change the channel, still doesn't change the fact that not only is it a commercial wanting people to use AE like Coach K, but it is also Coach K putting that little thought in the backs of the kids minds they are recruiting that you know what, maybe Duke is a better place afterall, Coach Williams isn't smart enough to use the AE how can he be smart enough to get me to a national title. And if you don't think 17 and 18 year old kids don't think like that all you have to do is closely follow recruiting in any of the major college sports.
I response to the remote, sure I can change the channel, usually leave the room to do something, however I can't change the channell of the kids that my alam amter is recruiting. Any exposure of a university is a recruiting tool, especially when the coach is there giving a recruitment speech.
