I've been looking for some stories about Schapiro and college sports; he's
definitely taken an interest in the subject at Williams:

In the non-athletics realm, I'm very, very interested to see what an
economist with an eye towards making education more affordable to acquire
does for NU.  It'll be entirely too late for me (and the ridiculous debt
load NU has put me into), but I am very hopeful that at the helm of a
prominent University located in a newly-nationally-relevant city, Schapiro
can make some g
good changes.

Thoughts on either?
