But then has to wonder, how important is running - because do you take a chance of a walk on - which requires luck and not just performance.
Or do you take the sure thing if it happens?
And it seems the unassured trumps the assured.
Again, it’s as I’m reading it - but OP can answer. If Princeton came with no chance of running, would it trump running? I think that’s how they’d have to look at it. Running there would be an unexpected bonus.
