Seriously….play 2 games this year and just outside of Top 10???.. What the heck….tired of emphasis on importance of rankings/sports over character/academics, etc. Give me a Full Ride because of my athletic skills???….kids bust their butt in the classroom, but get overlooked at times because of the $ athletics brings to college…bunch of B.S.
Way to go Mohawks, on the rise!
