This weekend is huge for the future of the football program.

Slightly off topic, but we should hire a plane with a banner that says "Fire Kirby Smart" and fly it over Sanford for their first game next year.

Or "Fire Mark Richt (<--crossed out). Fire Kirby Smart"

Harvard, Yale and Princeton offer full rides for every student below some ridiculous parent's salary. I think below $200k gets a full-ride and then the effective tuition goes up linearly until a parents' salary of $400k. Only above that level is the listed tuition paid.

What's crazy is only something like 40% of Yale's students pay reduced tuition rates. So 60% have parents who make that ridiculous amount of money, despite all their attempts to include (relatively) poor kids.

It does make it tougher for athletes to stay with the team when they can get a full-ride anyway without staying on the team.
They seemed to have changed things since 1996-2000 when my son went to an Ivy. This is not a look-at-me post...just saying I know how they handled our situation back then and we were doing a tick or two above 80k.

Kelly Quinlan has been pretty quiet today. I guess the future of the program is going to Notre Dame.

The one in the middle is Kyle Ambrose. He played D-line in the mid 80's. He helps with recruiting.
