"Nobody gets handed a Fresca in class. Nobody gets a free bowl of soup. And nobody has to be the ball."

Jason Sobel signed up for Caddyshack 101 class and all he got was a reminder that higher education is for fools.

Even though Professor Ted Curtis' class is titled, "Caddyshack 101: Lessons from the Coolest Sports Movie Ever Made," there will be no pop quiz on how to eliminate gophers, no oral presentation reliving Carl Spackler's famous Dalai Lama speech, not even an essay question on the seductive ways of Lacey Underall.

Too bad, huh?

"This is not about the film," said Curtis, the affable genius behind this idea who has worked in the university's sports management department for 11 years. "The film is hilarious and crude and wonderful, but it really is just a vehicle for talking about all of the different areas in the liberal arts, from race relations to civility to heroes in our society. Nobody gets handed a Fresca in class. Nobody gets a free bowl of soup. And nobody has to be the ball."

Well screw that!
