Selective City
Mike Devito converts a non-believer
New York Jet star defensive lineman Mike Devito will return to the Columbia campus this coming Tuesday night to talk about his pro career and his Christian faith. Devito made a similar appearance in 2010.
I don't think I'm going out on a limb saying that I'm sure Devito is pretty happy about his new teammate Tim Tebow joining him in Jet Land!
Recruiting Boost
Columbia's admission rates did not break a record low for the incoming freshmen class, but they remain the third lowest in the Ivies according to a new report.
What does this mean for football?
A lot, actually.
We all know the pull of the Harvard name, and the understood impossibility of getting into Harvard is a great draw for recruiting. The best athletes realize they are getting something like a lotto ticket when they get into a school that's getting harder to get into every year.
Columbia's rising prestige needs to be exploited more by all our sports recruiters, especially football.
