I was talking to a Stanford player's parent at the RB and wasn't aware the coaches won't even talk to them if they don't have a minimum GPA (I want to say 3.4-3.5 for the FB team).

That isn't true. This 4 star LB committed to Northwestern, but was denied admission and signed with Iowa.
Schools have different admissions standards.
Dante Phillips denied admission to UF, went to UTk

Remember TJ Duckett?
Schools can go down to NCAA requirements for admission or they force the coach to come up to admission requirements for recruits

Yeah but that's done for "recruits" in all other fields, as well. It's done in the interests of having as well rounded of a class as possible.
Stanford, Harvard and some of the others can set the bar as a perfect GPA and call it a day but they acknowledge that someone that has worked to achieve potentially world class skills in football, the violin or scientific research probably will not have perfect scores.
If you're an Intel Science and Engineering Fair finalist, there is a possibility that you got a B in Brit Lit. Nobody is going to hold that against you.

ETA: I was also offered "scholarships" by ivy league schools. Now of course they werent athletic, but they find ways as well. And i think my dad saved all the offer letters and i can go print out my high school transcript if you would like. I never once attacked anyone in this thread, until you came in and had to be e tough

And this applies to Stanford how?

quote:It applies to the fact that schools lower admission for athletes all the time. If Ivy league is willing to offer a non revenue athlete, then it shows what schools are willing to do. And specifically for Stanford, had many friends that went there and some were freaking home schooled by there coaches in the biggest joke programs you could ever imagine
And this applies to Stanford how?
ETA: There is so many little things that go into a player getting into one school and not another. For example, for whatever reason Lsu requires students to take a language exam if English isnt their first language, with a certain required score is needed. However, most other schools do not require this. This has cost Lsu a great deal of recruits in non-revenue sports that depend on foreigners

Conversely, I would say that the elite academic college with the lowest standards for admission is Georgetown. At least during the John Thompson years. If you were a basketball player you really didn't need to know how to read or write.
Patrick Ewing was a good example of a great player who could never have gotten into Duke, Stanford or ND.

You still have not supported your claim that you KNOW there are poor students at Stanford.
"It happens elsewhere so it could happen there" is not proof.

Worked out perfectly because these "home schooled" athlete factories basically just walk hand in hand with the NCAA bare minimums. Look, it is no big deal. Either believe me or whoever else you want to beleive. There is no way for me or anyone to prove it to you. Your choice to believe a journalism major you never met who works on tv or a random dude on a message board. Take your pick

What about Northwestern? That place isnt easy to get into!

I guess the only hard evidence i can provide for yall is i was accepted into ivy league schools with a 3.5 and 28 act with no AP classes what so ever. Something tells me that isnt exactly standard ivy league credentials

Like I said, yall can chose to believe me or whoever else you want, but there is no proof anyone can possibly offer. Except the fake identity go back to high school plan i offered SophandrosThis post was edited on 1/3/14 at 12:59 pm
