The grueling hours and often repetitive work would discourage all but the most enthusiastic economics concentrator, although for $150,000, a two-year commitment might...
...expectations aren't nearly as high for the men. Though the team is unlikely to contend for the indoor Heptagonal title, the Crimson has a number of athletes who have a great chance of winning individual titles.
