This is more impressive than anything that happened on the field in college ball this year. A reserve on Yale's soccer team, Chris Wells, eanred a Rhodes Scholarship this fall. It doesn't sound like the kid played much this year, or even his first three years, but it shouldn't take away anything from this accomplishment. http://yalebulldogs.ocsn.com/sports/m-soccer/spec-rel/112503aaa.html Anyone know the last time a D-I men's soccer player won a Rhodes Scholarship?
Pretty interesting... I guess the US is the only country where soccer players who don't make the cut to play professionally have to settle for becoming doctors and lawyers.
