So the follow up that I provided that explicitly has Stanford stating that their athletes are held "the same standards" doesn't support what I've said since the beginning?

Again, other than the quote which I intentionally took out of context to provoke you, show me where I said that Shaw specifically stated that there is no difference between the standards for athletes and students? Hint: I didn't. What I *have* done, is point out that Stanford promotes (wisely I might add) a public perception that their athletic program is of the same academic caliber as the rest of their student body, which just isn't accurate. Do the students have other merit beyond academic performance? Sure. They simply aren't all the brilliant scholar minds that we're spoon fed.

I've got no personal issues with Stanford. Great institution. Was accepted there (among many other places) for my MBA. This was simply a wildly inaccurate statement made by Shaw. I don't have a problem with stating that camps wouldn't be effective for you... hell they weren't really likely to be effective for many SEC coaches either. But if you're going to spout out bullshite, I've also got the right to call it as such. To say that there "might only be 1" who could qualify for admission implies that the threshold is something that it is not.
