Yale officials announced Sunday that quarterback Patrick Witt withdrew his application for the Rhodes Scholarship so that he will be able to play against archrival Harvard this weekend.
Adam Wheeler, a former Harvard student kicked out of the university for false statements on his admissions application, has been sent to jail for including the school on his resume when applying for a job. For violating this condition of his probation, he now faces a possible two-year sentence.
Yale quarterback Patrick Witt may face an interesting dilemma in a couple of weeks: choosing between a chance to beat archrival Harvard on the football field and a shot at one of the most prestigious academic awards in the world.
