Of course, but you aren't taking into consideration that Stanford is only taking people with 34 or higher that are none athletes. These athletes are likely scoring high 20s and low 30s. They are still fricking smart

No one has said they're not smart. That doesn't make it any less accurate that they're "not lowering their standards for athletes".

In 2015, Stanford accepted approximately 12.5% (~250) of their incoming students with ACT scores between 18-29. Again, a reasonable person can assume that *most* of their athletes are going to be outliers on the scores here, and as another poster mentioned, their *average* reported ACT score was only a 26, putting approximately half of them below or at that number (depending on range and max/min across scores).
