![]() ![]() Recently, Amherst College joined schools like M-I-T and Johns Hopkins by phasing out legacy as part of the application process. “Generally speaking, I think the country is going in the direction of wanting to make this system fairer, which I think is a good thing,” added Cohen. Reportedly, Harvard University accepted about a third of legacy applicants between 2014-2019, compared to 5.9% of non-legacy students. Now the fairness of this system is being questioned and some prestigious schools here in Massachusetts are starting to eliminate it.Ĭritics of legacy admissions argue this system makes it harder for first-generation students, and those from underserved communities, to get admitted. “By building that bond with the school, and not disappointing alumni, the theory is it helps them raise more money.” “More than half of the schools right now still have some kind of preferential treatment for legacy students.”Ĭohen says continuing a family tradition is seen as a plus by many schools. You can bet there will be some mighty creative posters in the stands this weekend.“It has been popular at the most selective schools,” Cohen said. It's one that can actually muster a hilarious image of Brady as a little baby out of a few words from an eager rookie wanting to take down the best. We think this Richardson kid is going to be a welcome addition to one of football's more eventful soap operas. So I just can’t wait to play against him again. It doesn’t matter who his wideouts are, he’s going to win the game, especially when he plays the Jets apparently. ![]() I’m ready to go get another shot at these guys, it’s Tom Brady. As a defensive lineman, you look to play certain people, and he happens to be one of ’em. Just because he thinks Brady gets preferential treatment doesn't extinguish his respect for the star QB. Then again, he may be just the kind of athlete who is quick with an opinion and absolutely at ease offering it to the media. ![]() Still, in his first year, Richardson is ready to declare the NFL is pampering Brady. It's also worth noting that the infamous rule was instated back in 1999, before Brady came into the league. Doesn’t it seem that way? Right or wrong?Īs Serby reminds, the Tuck Rule has since been rescinded. They made the Tuck Rule back when? 2000 when? Tom Brady rule, right? OK, a lot of great quarterbacks have hurt a knee before, but now we can’t hit quarterbacks in the knees now ’cause Tom Brady gets hurt. Why do we make rules after he gets hurt? I don’t know why a bunch of stuff. The game is designed to keep the quarterback as safe as possible within the confines of the rules, or so the sentiment goes.Īnd about those rules, Richardson has these thoughts: The rookie mentioned that Brady didn't fall on the play, which the referee said was inconsequential. I got close to him, shoved him a little bit, the referee said, 'I could’ve threw the flag on you for that.'" "I remember a play, a referee made it his business to tell me I was too close to hitting him." The 22-year-old continued, "It gets crazy out there. ![]() While he never uses the word "baby," it's easy to read between the lines. Richardson recalls their matchup from Week 2 and the slap on the wrist he received from daring to put his hands on Brady.
