Four Stars to Harvard

Why would a four-star tight end Blake Barker forgo offers from Florida and Tennessee and back off a Stanford commitment to go to Harvard. An ESPN.com story tries to answer the question in a story that includes this:

Some can't figure out why he wants to perform in front of several thousand fans against Yale or Dartmouth instead of 100,000 against USC or UCLA.

Also, the local paper has a story about Dartmouth's 45-year-old freshman and no, he's not a football player ;-)
