I see the value of going to Harvard and having that degree. However if you have the grades, Harvard will be there when you graduate from Syracuse.
To me if your smart enough it doesn't matter where you get your undergrad as much. Grades, extracurricular, and skill speak for themselves.
All that being said he may just want to go to Harvard more than Syracuse. Good luck losing to Yale for four years (me just being salty we lost a really good player

)
