CU seems to be doing great in terms of national rankings, football on the upswing, new uptown campus buildings getting architectural accolades and so on. But we're lagging in Rhodes scholars. When I was in College, I think we had two. So it seemed we were in the game at that point. Since then, however, it appears that many schools have personnel who specialize in identifying and nurturing likely candidates, I'm not sure we do. BTW, Anders Hill (plus some worthy sounding students from other sports) was also named to the academic team. Hopefully, there will be some coordination going forward. florida lionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06390124199248102098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8498801197851744676.post-68371759543324439122016-12-15T20:16:21.999-08:002016-12-15T20:16:21.999-08:00This is the type of outstanding scholar athlete wh...This is the type of outstanding scholar athlete who should be sponsored by Columbia for a Rhodes. oldlionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10242868168620796807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8498801197851744676.post-83046919909820997632016-12-11T20:58:35.024-08:002016-12-11T20:58:35.024-08:00There's no school where it's harder to be ...There's no school where it's harder to be a football player than Columbia.
