Kind of random but I was an athlete in a non-revenue driving sport and I would say our league was pretty competitive. However, I've noticed that for the revenue-driving sports like basketball that our colleagues at Harvard and Yale consistently get better recruits and fare better on a national stage. Given the league's stance on scholarships, wouldn't you expect more parity?

Harvard had a top 10 recruiting classes a few years ago for basketball.

SO recently got a job offer in OC. With wfh I likely won’t need to go to DTLA to the office. And for client travel I could go to SNA/LAX once a week if need be. We’re in our late 20s making $325k no kids. Where would be a good place to move/buy? I’ve seen laguna mentioned but Zillow house prices there are absurd. Newport seems too conservative given we’re POC. Irvine too stale for my liking unless there are spots in Irvine other than spectrum that I haven’t been to. Thanks!
