Rob--Certainly would not disagree about UofC's traditional academic ranking compared with NW's--but both are GREAT schools in a great city. UofC is a top five school in the U.S., and, truth be told, if not for politics, it would be #1. NW, on the other hand, is "only" a top 20 school in the U.S. And the non-academic factors may be decisive for a baseball player (Big Ten baseball, while not PAC 10, ACC, SEC, or Big 12, is certainly top tier). And I have been to UofC and its neighborhoods and areas around it. It can be dicey pretty quickly (though that never stopped me from frequenting The Checkerboard Lounge back in the halcyon days of Buddy Guy and Junior Wells at their respective peaks).
