"Life is made up of two kinds of games: finite and infinite. A finite game has a fixed endpoint, with winners and losers. That's college admissions. An infinite game goes on and on and has no definite winners. That's the career that comes after college."

After reading an gripping piece in today's @nytimes about the devastating Texas floods, co-bylined with @JohnBranchNYT, I wanted to know more about him. A great reminder that major doesn't dictate career, nor does early career always dictate what you'll do later.

Poaching of seniors who committed elsewhere this year. Syracuse offered some families $20K, $30K/year. “They wouldn’t play ball with us for months but then they dropped a sack of 80 grand on us,” one dad told me. That's when he decided to negotiate more. https://t.co/OZpaRn8tl8
