I'd like to reply to some messages posted at the begining of the season which were about how Curry gets their kids and how Curry has a great academic reputation.  The only academic reputaion I have heard of at Curry is "if you cant get into college, go to Curry". That is how they get their kids.  I have plenty of friends who go there and none of them got into any other schools.  I'm not taking anything away from their play on the field.  They have unbelievable coaching and real athletic kids.  But take a look at the league.  Who is usually on top? Teams with very low acceptance standards like Curry. Who is usually on the bottom? the teams with the highest acceptance standards, take MIT for example.  Im not saying Curry doesn't offer a good education. I am saying pretty much anyone can get into the school, its common knowledge.  Take Salve Regina, they used to smoke d2 teams and go undefeated without a problem when the school had minimal acceptance standards for males as it recently became a coed school.  Now that the acceptance standards are one of the highest in the conference and they had a recent freshmen class of 7 players.  That makes it a lot tougher to compete with a school who lets anyone in and has 100 kids on the team.  I tip my hat to MIT and other schools who have to face the adversity of higher acceptance standards.
