First, I would suggest that you go to Indiana rather than Ohio State. 
(Though there are probably days when you can hear Bobby all the way 
in Columbus).

If you are at MIT, I guess it is easy to confuse lesser schools such
as Indiana and OSU (both uniforms have some red in them....that must
be it!)

IMHO, Knight focuses on performance, discipline and authority.  Those 
are issues that are very important in today's society, especially for 
its athletes.  If you are intent on having the world give you a 
future on a silver platter without personal responsibility, then 
don't go to Indiana.  OTOH, if you want to lessons in both basketball 
and life, then it moves toward the top of the list.
