Jack Kerouac played football at Columbia University, but he wasn't really the MBA type. Fortunately for UMR, Joe Winters is the MBA type. In addition to being the first student admitted to UMR's new MBA program, Winters has joined the football team as a quarterback. Winters played football in the Ivy League (he tossed a touchdown pass against Harvard last season) and earned a bachelor's degree at Columbia, but he still has one year of eligibility remaining. So this season he's suiting up for the Miners and going to graduate school.
