It is a shallow stereotype that jocks are large, stupid, beer-swilling, anti-intellectual goons recruited and virtually paid to bring glory and attention and money to Harvard by their athletic prowess. There is, of course, an alternative stereotype, which portrays Harvard team members as upstanding scholar-athletes, forsaking countless hours of free time to bring glory to their alma mater...
