Even Harvard disagreed withKen Pye

Attached is an interesting article on the Harvard football program.

When Kenneth Pye was trying to finish off what the Death Penalty started, the people at Harvard were investing in their athletic program:

“Perhaps more integral to the success than the financial aid and the recruiting efforts, however, is a clear decision on Harvard’s part the past two decades that it does wants to be really good at sports, even in the ultracompetitive worlds of men’s football. The shift in thinking has its roots in the 1991 decision by the Ivy League presidents to eliminate freshman football. That allowed incoming freshman at Harvard and the seven other Ivy League football programs to play four seasons of varsity football, just like the rest of the NCAA’s Division I.”

I take pleasure in having fought Ken Pye, successfully. We are lucky to have survived this New York scoundrel. He never understood Texas.
