You mean this make believe David Shaw?

quote:
"We have the same academic standards."



ETA: Since you chose not to respond to the SAT requirement comment for DRob, am I to assume that you believe a 930/1600 SAT is impressive academically?

Well, I noticed that you didn't actually quote it, because Shaw certainly didn't say what you said he said. In the article he says that Stanford has not lowered it's academic standards to have a better football team. Which is of course completely different from saying that football players have to make the same grades or scores as anyone else.

With Stanford’s rise in football prominence, many have wondered if the program has become more lax in its admissions standards. Shaw adamantly denies this. “We have the same academic standards. What we’re doing, though, is a really good job of finding those kids who fit here academically and are going to graduate.


I'd hope that you would understand the difference between a school having academic standards and a school requiring the same scores of everyone. That article is nothing more than Shaw saying that Stanford hasn't lowered the floor for incoming athletes.

Finally, not sure what your point was with DRob. No Stanford official has stated what his SAT needed to be and he apparently hasn't been admitted. Not sure that stands for the proposition that all athletes only have to make a certain score.
