The challenge came so subtly, that perhaps, only Braxton Berrios perceived it as such.
While most of his Hurricanes teammates and coaches celebrated the string of straight A’s he’d accumulated during his first months at Miami at a team meeting, a passing comment was made.
Yes, the grades were impressive. But it wasn’t like Berrios was pursuing a degree in a course of study as demanding as finance, someone noted. If that were the case, then, the freshman’s accomplishment might be significant.
“The next day I added finance as a major,” said Berrios, who last month graduated as the valedictorian of Miami’s business school and days later, played his final game as a Hurricane in the Orange Bowl.
