Stanford may have different standards for football and basketball players versus the Olympic sports.

BTW Harbaugh clearly is a great coach. But dude's a crazy person.

I just asked the senior who is playing at Stanford that I coached if the school made academic acceptance exceptions for football and basketball players and he responded that they also needed to be accepted into the school first.

You realize that 0% is >1%, right? And that each application they get brings in money to the school, right? So if they publish 0% then kids in those categories don't even bother, whereas if they publish >1% then it's, "so you're saying there's a chance?"
I do not realize that 0 is greater than 1... so no to whatever else you said

He may be right, but I doubt he's keyed in to the admissions process for athletes.

And even so... that's the case at any other school... they need to be accepted into the school as well as make the team.

He was recruited to play a sport at Stanford and has talked about his friendships with some of the football players and 1 of the basketball players so I'd say he's much more keyed in to the admission process than you, me, keefe, chicos, Grayson, or anyone else who has contributed to this discussion.

Haha oops, hit the wrong button. But you got it right. 1 is more than 0, so when they say less than 1%, 0% is included in that. So thanks.

Dude, he's a student.  Students hear all sorts of things.  That doesn't mean they are correct.

Again, he may be right.  Just don't take his word as gospel.

He is a student athlete. I'll trust a kid who was recruited to play there (especially when articles have confirmed this) over some random guys on a MU basketball site who never had a prayer to go to Stanford, especially for athletics.

He's not the type of kid who would say with certainty that all the players need to be accepted into the school before an athletics program can accept them if he had any doubt about it. He would say "I'm pretty sure..."

But it doesn't really matter. If people want to believe Ivy's and Stanford make exceptions for below average students because they can shoot a ball through a hoop, throw a ball far, jump really high, or whatever like ND, UVA, Michigain, or others do, then you'll believe that.

They don't make exceptions for "below average students."  They do make exceptions for student athletes that wouldn't be admitted otherwise.

I think you may have a bunch of arguments confused here. Not sure what you think anyone is disagreeing with here.

Good Lord. Shoot me.

But you are right - what a great game. One for the ages.
