The next SEC expansion should include Rhode Island. They must be our kind of folks. And Shaw is an idiot.

The campus will come alive Tuesday morning as 1,768 freshmen and 31 transfer students move into their dorm rooms, ably assisted by hundreds of volunteers – students, staff and alumni – wearing red T-shirts that say: Like the Way I Move? The new students come from 49 U.S states – Rhode Island not included – and 56 countries.

That's why the rose bowl is their championship. They could even win the national championship with Andrew Luck. People talk about Mississippi, sure they are dead last in education. Who is 45 -49? Bordering states.

As a Vanderbilt grad from Mississippi who was actually accepted at Stanford, I can only shake my head and sigh at Shaw making Stanford grads sound like stupid pricks. And, unlike Shaw, I didn't have the advantage of sports covering for any intellectual deficiencies during the admissions process. (Granted, being a legacy, I was always going to attend Vandy, and Stanford offered me very little in the way of scholarship money, but still...)
Furthermore, anyone who seriously believes scholarship athletes -- be they at Stanford, Vanderbilt, or Florida International -- are held to the exact same standards as other students is either very gullible or just really adept at self-deception. I'm sure some very smart kids play for Stanford. I'm equally certain some very smart kids play for every single team in the SEC. That's not a measure of a university's exclusiveness, nor a reflection of a region's educational quality -- it's an inevitable conclusion based on the fact that smart people will be smart regardless of where they come from or where they end up.

Lol, there were at least 10 people in my graduating class at prattville that had the grades and scores to get into stanford if they also had the money or connections. I dont think any of them were on the football team though.

He is correct, truth hurts. My sister goes to Stanford and it's extremely difficult to get in, she was one of only 2 in the entire state of MS to get accepted there. If you watch the interviews of SEC football players they aren't exactly scholars.
What's odd is my sister got a full scholarship to Stanford but was not accepted into Florida.

That's very akin to saying that great Universities are wasting their time recruiting minority neighborhoods. It makes some pretty big assumptions about the hidden gems within that are not very flattering to Shaw, and makes him seem like an elitist. Everybody knows Stanford is for super- smart kids. So diminishing regions and the kids in those regions, just makes him seem small and insecure.
I mean, I know where McCaffery was raised, I know the assets that kid has had his entire life. Absolutely the very best of everything. Super affluent community, tutors on demand, high-level training and sports medicine, prep schools, hobnobbing with millionaires and billionaires.I mean the kid has Colorado legends like Patrick Roy,Todd Helton and John Elway at his birthday party growing up. Meanwhile, a kid like Leonard Fournette grows up in a drug-infested shooting gallery and his parents are working three jobs to keep the light bill on. So yeah, David...stay where you are comfortable my friend. We will recruit where we find them.
