And Football players. Probably not all. But the stars. I graduated from Syracuse in 1964. My family did not have money, so I needed to work several jobs to pay my tuition. This would not be possible with today's tuition cost. But it was then. One of my jobs was as a part-time janitor for one of the buildings on campus. Two of us were assigned to clean the offices on one floor of the building each weeknight. Empty the trash, mop the floors, etc. I was one of the assignees and a star football player whose name you would immediately recognize was the other. He never showed up. I didn't mind. I needed the money and the job didn't really require two people. But it was an eye-opener. [/QUOTE]
