This year's 32 Rhodes Scholars have been announced and the folks at Auburn, Louisville, and North Carolina are already crowing. Although the Rhodes site does not yet have the official list of names and bios – that's sure to be up shortly – regional press is all over this story. The Birmingham News is talking about Auburn All-American swimmer Jordan Anderson here. The Louisville Courier-Journal is talking about Monica Marks who brings the University of Louisville its very first Rhodes award. But the Romantic Rhodes surely goes to UNC where sweethearts Libby Longino and Henry Spelman both snagged the prestigious prize. Good news for UNC, great news for the lucky couple which now need not navigate the fallout of having one winner and one…almost winner.

Dan, the complete list has been announced. Details here:

When I was in high school and participating in a "scholar bowl" contest, I remember a moderator asking the question — "Where do Rhodes Scholars study?" — and receiving the reply, "The University of Rhodes." (Not me, I swear!)
As a follow-up, Dan, I'm curious to know how many Rhodes Scholars are currently law professors. I know of one: my friend, Tom Berg, at St. Thomas (Minnesota). But I'm guessing there are others.
I know of at least three NYU law professors, Catherine Sharkey, Kenji Yoshino, and Ronald Dworkin, and one former NYU law professor, Noah Feldman, who were Rhodes Scholars. Thomas Merrill and Guido Calabresi were as well.
Oh! And Cristina Rodríguez from NYU Law is as well.

Tim Sellers at the University of Baltimore.
