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.
