Subject: Re: Harvard WR transfer Cooper Barkate transfers to Duke Author: Lurker [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 19:21:16 12/31/24 Tue In reply to: Bob S 's message, "Re: Harvard WR transfer Cooper Barkate transfers to Duke" on 16:54:49 12/31/24 Tue As I have stated here in the past: playing football at Northwestern and other “high academic” FBS schools is not necessarily the same education as other students At Cornell, many of my teammates were engineering students, as is my son At Columbia. In my understanding many academic fields are not available for football players at NW The IL is still unique in delivering an authentic academic experience to Div1 football players [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Don't seem to see similar majors in the Ivy rosters. I had a doctor who said that an Ivy athletes had to be both good at their sport and very good at time management - which obviously helps you in your professional life for sure. I agree with earlier poster who said it is not where you go but what you do with your opportunity - academic and later in life. I attended 3 colleges in Canada previous to Morningside Hts - where Columbia admins said they had a high respect for (including high school) but I found my experience, engagement with professors & classmates etc much more enlightening than up North. Some folk might feel that we, Ivy grads and the school, are self important or self appointed elite but honestly I think that might come from the cankerous worm of envy. Finally I am so proud of our football squad - after following them for more than 3 decades -- they are a great representation for our school and I am also grateful for their efforts esp. as some students (or hangers on) are NOT good reps for our school. The Columbia Ivy football champs rang the bell at the NY Stock Exchange for pete's sake! Happy New Year to all on this board - even some of the more vituperative ones !
