How about a school like Stanford or Notre Dame for football? I don’t intend to play football in college, but both schools are football oriented but extremely obsessed with academics, aren’t they? Yale, Cornell, Harvard, and Penn all have outstanding lacrosse teams that compete for the championship every year, so what makes that different than another sports oriented DI school, like Hofstra?
