My best friend's daughter got a swimming scholarship at Stanford and your statement is bull.

there are early admits at Stanford, which includes all students.

I know you guys are busy chatting over your win over MD. Congrats.

I wanted to provide 2 links regarding recruiting athletes at Stanford, including football. The first article is from 2007 and the Director of Admissions who is no longer there, but it summarizes the challenges the coaches face. Football is better because of Andrew Luck and the legacy he began. And btw, football has a 90% graduation rate.

Well I am hoping all those role playing recruits are reading cardfans threads as we would love to have you at UCLA but we wouldn't be putting you down and giving all the glory to our coach, we would give you your due!!!

dood, I'm just providing facts how recruiting works at Stanford based on hearing it directly from the folks who work there, to the players and parents who went through the process.

I'd love to stay and chat, but gotta run.

Have a great day.

Yeah, All those unbiased sources. Do you think any of them would actually say that exceptions have been made for an exceptional athlete? Is a parent or an employee going to say that corners are cut? H*ll, Pat Summitt said that Bruce Pearl was an honorable and honest man of outstanding character.
