[QUOTE="Techster, post: 202232, member: 360"] The thing I find most funny about the people who crap on Stanford and think they have some arbitrary admissions standards to suit their needs is...well, frankly, where is the proof in this? Rivals, Scouts, 247...and local papers do fairly good job reporting SAs high school GPA, what classes they took, and in some cases their test scores. It's easy to grab a few recruits as examples of "relaxed standards"...but I have yet to see anyone cite enough recruits and their credentials to back their theory. For instance, let's look at Stanford's star player this year: [URL]http://sports.yahoo.com/ucf/football/recruiting/player-Christian-McCaffrey-139329[/URL] 3.5 GPA, 24 SAT score. 100% of every FCS school would take those academic credentials for their recruits. How about their 5 Star Wideout signee last year? 4.1 GPA. [URL]http://www.studentsports.com/football/2014/05/18/oakland-nftc-recap/[/URL] Those DLs...bunch of dummies right? Dylan Jackson (who we wanted BAD), 3.75 GPA. [URL]http://sports.yahoo.com/lsu/football/recruiting/player-Dylan-Jackson-147710[/URL] How about another DL? Soloman Thomas, 5 star DE, and leading sack getter from the DL last season: 4.5/5.0 GPA. [URL]http://www.nflplayerengagement.com/prep/articles/may-scholar-baller-of-the-month/[/URL] That's not me cherry picking, that's me looking up their best recruits/players and easily finding their academic credentials. If it's that easy for me to find Stanford SAs with high academic credentials, how come the Stanford "doubters" can't show anyone proof that Stanford is in fact using arbitrary credentials to suit their needs? Is there some vast conspiracy on the internet to make Stanford football look good?! [/QUOTE]
