Schadenfreude - Harvard hoops skirts the rules, says NYT

[Jim Hyla]

[quote billhoward]A Yalie chimes in on the ESPN story about hoops recruit Ben-Eze going elsewhere than Cambridge.

Not going to Harvard is a terrible choice. If you are a good player, but not one of 20 or so best in the country then wasting an opportunity to go to Harvard is absurd. I am an alum of Yale and the prestige of the degree opens doors unimaginable. People throw jobs at you and the alumni of sports teams at Ivies are very tight. I am an athletic alum and, trust me, it's tighter than any frat. If this kid is NBA material, that's one thing. If not, HUGE BLUNDER.
