Question for the board

Have you seen how uptight he is? He was probably still just punching the clown.

I'm going to give you the gheyest avi I can come up with if I win the next bet. Worse than slinky could ever come up with.

I went with the nuclear option where even if he is pretending to be a Trump fan, he would the avy.

That's definitely "THE Nuclear Option" ...

Apparently everyone but the sheriff would.

I cant speak for Stanford but my son had scholarship offers to Cal for Rugby. And he certainly wasnt a 4.0+ at his public HS. He was an All American though and he would have had no chance of getting into the school with his grades. But they would have accepted him for Rugby with his barely 3.0 GPA. They were honest with us though and said if would most likely struggle academically if he didnt dedicate 60 hours a week to study. On top of Rugby. He passed and went with another offer.

I often wonder how some of these kids in football end up graduating at schools like Stanford and Cal. Because some of these guys dont come off very sharp.

He was getting paid to watch Bob’s ass during this time, so you can’t blame him.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Who really cares? I don't watch college football for the player's academic prowess. If you're good at sports, you don't have to be as smart as everyone else to get into different schools.

If they can play football and maintain eligibility, who cares?

The word I have usually heard about Stanford is that it is very difficult to get your foot in the door, even if you’re an athlete. Some have said their admissions standards are even more stringent than Notre Dame’s.

That said, I have also heard that once you’re in, you’re mollycoddled, the coursework for jocks isn’t that rigorous.

In reading what you have attached they must take at least 12 credit hours. But you don’t need to carry a 2.0 until your senior year? That suggests mollycoddling to me. I was a D3 athlete and having less than a 2.0 at any time was not permitted.

Please, standards for athletes to be accepted at Notre Dame cannot be that stringent. A freshman only has to maintain a 1.85.

Evaluation Criteria // Undergraduate Admissions // University of Notre Dame

Here’s what we’re looking for:
Academic performance in high school
There’s no minimum grade point average or class rank required, but know this: You’re up against the best and the brightest in the world. The more rigorous your course selection, the better your grades, and the higher your class rank, the more competitive your application will be.


At Notre Dame you are on ACADEMIC PROBATION if you GPA is not above a 2.0, Section 2.2.3

https://facultyhandbook.nd.edu/asse...emic_code_effective_7.1.2016_for_posting_.pdf

On page 8, section 3.3.8

A GPA of C Minus = While acceptable, work falls SHORT of meeting basic standards in several areas.

In Conclusion, Notre Dame Athlete Students are expected to be SHORT of basic standards in several areas.

Sorry I'm late to the party. Last night when AG told me I could get into Stanford with a 2.0 I went online and applied to University of phoenix and I figure if you give me three days , some good WiFI and a case of Red Bulls I can get a semester done with at least a 2.0 and I'm golden. Stanford here I come!

Some posters on here are under the false assumption that you need to be an exceptional student in order to be recruited by Stanford football. I'm going to copy & paste a link on here from Stanford's website and please read it before making a reply.


@jjc2009 you seem like one of the more intelligent posters on here. Could you please explain to these posters what this link says and means. Thank you in advance.

@WizardHawk @socaljim242 @trojanfan12 @SUBuddha @Olyduck <--- seeing how you five posters have difficulty with the English language including links from Stanford's own website, I've asked someone else to help explain it to you.

How much longer to you have to use that avatar?

Until the 26th ... less than two weeks and this avi is going in the trash bin.

I'll bet you will. Hmm, maybe the SportsHoopla bookie will take my bet?

 

[Rolltide94]

But Stanford doesn't do they. Stanford plainly states the requirements for its student athletes on the link I posted. Nothing tricky and/or hidden about it.

The is no minimum GMAT requirement to get into Harvard Business School...but somehow they have a 727 average for the 201i9 class. Yet, someone got in with a 580. Elite schools often have lower minimums so that they can make exceptions for otherwise exceptional students...not so 85 knuckle draggers can make the grade.
