I loved Tyson Alger’s article about Michael Bennett III joining the Ducks from Yale — with one exception. I agree that the Big Ten and Ivy League schools are miles apart in terms of football strength. But academically the distance isn’t that large. The Big Ten has very strong academic collaborations across its member institutions. As a spinout company from the University of Oregon in the field of language learning and assessment, we are thrilled that UO is now a Big Ten school. Go Ducks!
