That's just disgusting! Obviously the Yale admissions people totally forged the athleticism videos and on-the-spot ball catching tests for that guy. Must have been another one of those years when Yale was really hurting for applicants. To be fair, of course, once that huge error had been made, Yale might have felt that Connecticut laws prevented them from having the Yale University Police shoot him on sight. Gov'mint interference, that's what I call it!

You would think that at least the Yale faculty would weed him out -- don't they have a bunch of Nobel Prize winners, and isn't there a stringent ball catching requirement for all of the Nobel Prizes? Even if the school is desperate for warm bodies in its undergrad programs, certain standards must be upheld.
