Tennis star James Blake is PROUD of his alma mater Harvard for taking swift action against the men's soccer team -- saying he's glad the school didn't go the Penn State route and try to cover it up.
Harvard's dean cancelled the rest of the season after it was revealed players had compiled sexual "scouting reports" on incoming female soccer recruits -- complete with bang-ability ratings.
But Blake -- who attended Harvard in the early 00's -- says the University had a choice on how they wanted to handle it ... and made the right decision by "outing themselves.
