[QUOTE="Techster, post: 375054, member: 360"] Lord...why do people keeping bringing up "But Stanford has so many majors to hide their athletes!!!" First of all, as has been documented MULTIPLE times, the challenges at GT and Stanford are different. BOTH challenges are equally difficult to work around. Here's what it boils down to: GT: Easier acceptance requirements for SAs, but limited majors to "hide" SAs once they get into school. Also, limited majors to appeal to a larger pool of SAs. Stanford: Probably the most difficult entrance requirements of schools that play P5 football. Once accepted, more majors to appeal to a broader SA population, and "easier" majors to "hid" SAs in. As I pointed out earlier in the thread, it's a different set of challenges for both schools. Stanford has a big road block on the front end, while GT's roadblock is in the back end. At Stanford, you can't "hide" an SA if you can't get him into the house in the first place. At GT, you can get him into school, but if the kid can't hack the academic challenges required at GT, you're not keeping him in school. Bottom line, BOTH schools are not going to be able to compete with the factories every year on the field and from a recruiting stand point. That's just how it is for elite academic schools. Right now, Stanford is dealing with their challenges a little better than we are. But, IMO, GT can very much do what Stanford is doing if not better one day. It's just going to take getting our staff more help, and possibly tweaking some things in terms of football philosophy. We'll get there guys... [/QUOTE]
