How to do University sports right - Princeton Basketball

Read: "Little Men on Campus" by Jeff Coplon, New York Times Magazine, 1st March 1998, pp. 36-39. from which these choice quotes are taken:

"Varsity performers are cut no slack at Princeton. There are no special dorms, no training tables, no no-show jobs or fail-safe courses designed for a campus jockocracy."

"[The coach’s] office is a partitioned cubicle with a metal desk."

"At Princeton, athletes remain little men on campus and they maintain that they would not have it any other way."

"...the players must juggle their hardcourt adventure with the realities of Princeton life." "...the players carted their books along on the bus trip to Dartmouth and then to Harvard."
