Interesting alumni from your top-25 school

Among the first things you hear at freshman orientation is the list of notable people who came before you and walked the halls of your school. Using the Way-Too-Early Top 25 as our guide, we identified some of the most interesting alumni from each of the top 25 teams' institutions.

Kourtney Kardashian and other notable top-25 alumni

Beats the heck out of the others who include fictional characters, Orville Redenbacher, and a Kardashian.

The stock broker?

Sorkin is quick to point out to anyone that he did not go to Newhouse. He is a Maxwell kid.

He's definitely broke a few things along the way.

Unless he has a grad degree from SI then techjncslly he isn't a Maxwell guy either.
I am glad nowadays the. Maxwell Dean will sign kids degrees now as Arts and sciences used to control those undergrad degrees.

Is it just me, or shouldn't the current vice president trump any other alumnus? And yes, I used "trump" on purpose.

My college roommates wife works in Hollywood at one of the networks. She was talking to Sorkin and mentioned that she was also a Newhouse grad. He quickly snapped that he was maxwell and not Newhouse. As if Newhouse was beneath him.

They were clearly just trying to be clever. When they pick freaking Orville Redenbacher over Niel Armstrong I think there is something afoot (pun intended).

I am still getting over the shock that a Kardashian actually went to college.

What do you have against F?

For years, every story on Story had his name as F Story Musgrave. It tickled me a bit that he had the chutzpah to just use one letter like he did.

Something changed. If you google him now, almost every link has his name as Story Musgrave. But he will always be F Story Musgrave to me.

Not sure if it says more about me or the ESPN staff that I haven't even heard of 9 of those people they list. Trying to put the ESPN staff hat on for my alma mater I can't decide between Roger Ailes or Matt Lauer??? Oh heck with it I'll just go with Paul Newman (how can you go wrong when you have a salad dressing and spaghetti sauce named after you).

So, you went to Kenyon? One of my HS buddies did also. I loved John Rinka, was disappointed he didn't make the NBA, but I was young then.

Jay McInerney

McInerney went to Williams College undergrad. I met him once in the Greek restaurant on Marshall Street. He was doing grad work, studying with Carver, but I don't know that he got a masters degree from SU.
