OT - Cool Gerhart article

I know news organizations like to lionize college athletes who are also successful in the classroom - see Myron Rolle - but this is still pretty cool. You kind of hope that schools like Northwestern, UM, and ND also appeal to kids like this - smart guys who are good athletes but also realize that even if they play pro ball, they still have 40+ years of their lives to live once they hang up their cleats, and studio analysts positions aren't a given.
