Not fair. Purdue is scholarship football and Valpo is not.

Ha ha... You'd be pleasantly surprised to know that last month Valpo's team dominated the robotic football combine and won first place by a land slide.
Among the participants: the mighty ND fighting irish... That's right. We may not have the athletic scholarships but we sure have the best engineering minds  :thumbsup:
