30. Meatball DeSantis

Also went to Yale undergrad. Captain of the baseball team. I know for a fact that elite schools like this give exemptions from the academic standards that most applicants are held to in order to recruit for athletics. I'm not saying that Meatball is stupid, but I wonder whether he would have gotten in without athletics.

Rafael probably was a diversity admit--Latino and Canadian. Also went to Harvard Law School.

Hegseth was probably an athletics admit.

Couchfucker (Yale Law School) probably also was a diversity admit. Military (though in PR, not combat), and from hillbilly country. These schools also try to hold open slots for white people who come from disadvantaged backgrounds.

Big Bird (Tom Cotton, Harvard BA, JD)--military and hillbilly admit, though Cotton saw combat (which he then exaggerated).

Anyway, who really cares? They do--you can bet on it. Probably have their degrees framed and hanging on a wall somewhere.
