It won't matter to Stanfurd what they do in football and basketball [men's] as long as they continue to pile up the points in the suburban sports and continue to win the Sear's Cup. The 2 sports don't add enough points to be meaningful for them to want to change their approach.

Puzzled, The point is whether or not Stanford does indeed have such high admissions standards they we cannot compete in sports. I made the point that some people with rather questionable 'smarts' have been admitted...Condi being a case in point. Based upon her political acumen, I'd rather have Brooke Lopez representing us in foreign affairs.

Perhaps I'm not informed but what does Condi Rice have anything to do with athletics?

I am a Stanford Graduate, class of 1999, and am the one who posted the Condi Rice comment. In fact, I'm also a graduate of the Standord Business School Class of 2006.

Your comment on Condi Rice shows you wouldn't have a chance at getting admitted to Stanford.

I once heard Mike Montgomery say on that he was chagrined when he once lost a player because of Stanford's admission standards. So where did that player go? Yale. Could it be that Stanford is so noble because they have more than enough money to fund the other sports so they don't need winners or sell outs of football and basketball.

I guess Stanford tightened its academic standards after Condi Rice was admitted.
