I know a guy who won one of these in my class and he wasn't very close to being a basketball player (even on the IM level).

Yeah, Harvard has figured out how to game the AI but recruiting guys who perform on and off the court! Team Academic Excellence award (2015) plus 4 players on the 2015 NABC Honors Court. According to the following Ivy League release, Harvard had more players earn such honors thatn any other Ivy basketball program, a list that included Patric Steeves and Agunwa Okolie.

I also read that some of the highly rated incoming freshmen have unusually strong academic profiles. If so, congratulations on getting things moving in the right direction. That's what we're looking for as a league.
