<p>I attended UMiami from 1979-1983. The University’s prestige really took off after President Foote shrank the number of undergraduates. He set it up so that the acceptance rate would decrease. Added to that, the 1983 National Championship resulted in a spike in applications to UM. So, I guess we should kiss Tad Foote’s feet. I doubt anyone will ever want to kiss Shalala for any reason. The thought makes me shudder…</p>
<p>What is REALLY crazy is that many of the ineligible players are part of the “Northwestern 7.” They graduated from Miami Northwestern the same year. Many turned out to be a bust- most notably Jacory (Japicky) Harris. He is an interception machine. My goodness this kid has harmed this program. Send Jacory back to Liberty City!</p>
