[QUOTE="Deleted member 2897, post: 314876"] Yes I was embellishing the story. But the main point is that the classes and majors that football players at Stanford take bear little resemblance to the main college body. Previous links above reference news stories about it. You can go look at their majors for yourself. Of course its not fair to say a degree in Media Studies at Stanford is like something from Upper Mississippi Community College, so you are right to call me out on that. But what I am trying to say if I settle down just a bit is that there is a big difference between a degree in Media Studies and a degree in Civil Engineering, Business, Economics, Mechanical Engineering, Construction Management, or you name it. Stanford has a distinctly different path for football players, just like many football factories. So lets not be silly and compare what our football players take and what's available to them versus theirs. 80% of Georgia Tech student athletes are either STEM majors or Business Majors. Look at their list - its a very small percentage...nearly the inverse. Which runs counter to their general student population. [/QUOTE]
