FOOTBALL | On the road for the Rhodes
This afternoon, cornerback Casey Gerald ’09 will be preparing for one of the biggest moments of his life — and it has nothing to do with this weekend’s game at Harvard.
In fact, Gerald won’t be anywhere near Cambridge, Mass., for he, along with 12 other finalists from Texas and Louisiana, will be in Houston, Texas, taking part in a final round of interviews for the Rhodes Scholarship. Two of the finalists will be among the 32 American Rhodes Scholars to be named this year.
Then Gerald will hop on a plane to get to the last football game of his Yale career. And in what could...
The Rhodes is overrated. If Gerald was lucky enough to get into HBS straight out of Yale (as it appears to be the case based on the article), he should just go.
Disclaimer: I was a Rhodes finalist who ultimately got rejected, but I don't think this affects my views.
