    unless stanford's admissions standards for athletes have gone way, way up, this seems to be pretty off base. stanford steve got in with a 3.1 highschool gpa and 990 SAT...

    Interesting that McElroy is all up in arms with that comment considering he spent the first 10 years of his life in Los Angeles, and most of the rest in Southlake, Texas

    only 4 or so years in the shithole known as Alabama

    I'm sure he moved back there after football, though. Probably to Huntsville?

    Good time to remember that being cunty about Stanford academics is a theme for the head coaches there....

    Jim Harbaugh:

    “College football needs Stanford. We’re looking not for student athletes but scholar-athletes. No other school can carry this banner. The Ivy League schools don’t have enough weight [because of their low athletic level]. Other schools which have good academic reputations have ways to get borderline athletes in and keep them in.”
    “Michigan is a good school and I got a good education there,” he said, “but the athletic department has ways to get borderline guys in and, when they’re in, they steer them to courses in sports communications. They’re adulated when they’re playing, but when they get out, the people who adulated them won’t hire them.”

    He didn't say SEC country, though. Seems like some peoples' insecurities are getting them to read into something Shaw said that could be about any of the other 49 states.

    Consider all the fools from Ohio who don't want their kids to get a Michigan education because Woody Hayes supposedly wouldn't buy gas in the state up north. And then imagine states somehow worse than Ohio.

    Stanford will be fine is what we are saying, whether a coach or two gets all mad or not.

    and a coach would be a real cunt for turning Stanford away when his job is to worry about the future of his kids/players

    Stanford recruits from a very small section of players in the country because of the academics, those people who have the ability to get into Stanford won't give a shit about these comments.

    Are we talking football players or just kids in general.

    Because kids in general, it makes sense to get that in-state tuition and attend tOSU, a fine university.

    If we are talking about football, then the kids are just making wise business decisions by choosing tOSU

    It won't happen. And if it did, the kid smart enough to get into Stanford will tell his HS coach to fuck off.

    I guess you read the whole quote? He even said that it wasn't an SEC v. Harbaugh thing. He was speaking generally, like you said. Still, every headline is that it was a jab at "SEC country."

    It's always a good rule of thumb to check your typos before making academic smack.

    None of us what our kids buying has in Michigan.

    they didn't seem to crumble after Harbaugh spouted off about academics. But then again, this is just WAY different.
