ECU helmet fetches $3,100, and Duke nets $3,000

I gasped Thursday at the Triangle Pigskin Preview event at the Washington Duke Inn when N.C. State athletics director Debbie Yow spent $1,500 for a Wolfpack football helmet.

But then the Duke helmet sold for $3,000 … and the East Carolina one for $3,100 …
Auctioneer Don Shea had to be reminded by the crowd that he’d forgotten to get bids for the UNC helmet. That one went for $1,500, too. All that made the N.C. Central helmet seem like a steal at $500.

Recession? What recession?
