I just realized what a large part of my problem with this decision is, especially in relationship to football: There is a very fundamental part of me for which it is important to work nobly against all odds to greatness. Making it to greatness is a part, but the important part is the working and striving and the earnest attempt to make it there. To this part things like medals, or starting positions, or where your degree is from are very important and meaningful, because they represent the effort and an attempt at greatness.
There is another, not as fundamental but still important, part of me that is fine with all that, but really doesn't like a lot of the activities that entails. This part of me says whhhhhhhooooooo cares if you played on the starting football team in college, or where your degree is from. What only matters are tangible results.
Part A is responsible for me playing football and going to Mudd in the first place. Part B is telling me to do something else.
Oh yeah, and Sam you are gay gay gayier ya fuckin faerie.
