It was Monday morning in the higher-education capital of the universe, and in a second-floor classroom in Boston, 35 students were absorbed in a lecture on perhaps the critical subject of our times.
Rising health care costs? The global economy? Educating young people for the high-tech jobs of the future?

If I want to hire a c# programmer, really, why does sports knowledge matter? If I ask how many hat tricks Luis Tiant scored in his career, and they respond they don't follow basketball, they move to the next stage of the interview. If I was hiring people to guard the water cooler, this would be a wonderful program.
So, education, literacy, skill, creatively; none of that apparently matters. If this tripe is to be believed, one must be able to natter in the vernacular of the sport-addicted (or addled). We are doomed.
