NBC Chicago:
They might object to a David and Goliath comparison, then again, as their twitter message said yesterday.

Way to go ECC! Congratulations.
Oh, bravo, Elgin folks!
Please read the article -- this is a true triumph on a lot of levels.
They measured up against a lot of top tier schools.
Congratulations!
KUDOS!
Proof that affirmative action is bad. All these unqualified candidates getting into Yale simply because of who their families are, and how much money they have.
Did you read the article? They also beat Villanova and they barely got beat by Brown, who went on to win the tournament, and:
"Overall, they had a better record than Boston College's "A" team, Wake Forest, Boston University, Dartmouth's "A" and "B" teams, and Wellesley's A&B teams. ECC also tied Penn State"
This wasn't a fluke about Yale not measuring up, this was about a team of students from a community college and their faculty member who worked their a**es off and took down some Goliaths.
Bravo, ECC.
Means nothing.
You do not go to Yale or Harvard to become the best attorney.
You go there to be the best PAID attorney.
Considering GWB was a Yale man, it's not like they have a high bar set for any of their programs.
It's like a name brand pair of jeans- you are paying a ton more just for the label. If you want quality, best look elsewhere.
Love it when something like this happens.
