<p>…so this whole thread is based on the opinion of one athlete and the few who made some comments in the quoted article. Success depends on the individual, not whether they go to Berkeley, Michigan or Flank Steak University; yes, sure let’s compare those who get cool jobs as investment bankers out of elite schools but also compare the starving child in Africa…and whether these will-be successful individuals choose to attend Harvard or not… it’s their problem not anyone else’s. In the end you, you want Cal to recruit smart athletes so you won’t complain in your American Studies class about how stupid they are or superior athletes so you can brag and be proud of about how your college reigns supreme in sports…really? Oh, so Berkeley is not living up to it’s supposed reputation? Life is too short.</p>
