Cornell is not better academically than any other school?  I am also a little surprised with those words.  I guess Forbes must've messed up then when they listed Cornell as one of the top 25 liberal arts schools.  This article sums it up:

I'm a huge Cornell fan and wish them the best but let's be realistic.  They lost their heart and soul of the D in Gustafson. And on offense they lost 4 of the 5 starting oline( 3 have been 4 year starters)and two solid receivers.  Also their fullback isn't coming back.   That leaves Hardman and a soph QB.  Unless they have an outstanding freshman class it may be another hard season for the Rams.  If Cornell is yet again another small team they may indeed fall victim to the injury bug again.  I do believe they will get a conference win without a doubt and I will cheer them on come every Saturday.

Go Rams!!!
