[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Other than Stanford, ND offers the best combination of top-notch academics, all around excellence in athletics (not just football) and alumni networking.  It also has one of the largest endowments in the country, more than half the Ivies and nearly 10 times Georgetown’s.  These are facts, not hyperbole.  [/quote]
Duke, Vandy, and Michigan all disagree (and the Stanford, Vandy, and Michigan alumni and parents aren't even predominantly insufferable).[/quote]
Plus Cal, Texas, UCLA, USC, UNC....[/quote]
Um, Stanford, the Ivy's (completely insignificant and worthless in NCAA Athletics)" and the Service Academy's are the only schools that don't compromise for athletics.  If any of you think the rest of those schools don't have mouth breathers on the scholarship roster you're stupid.[/quote]
I don't have personal knowledge as to Stanford, but I do as to multiple Ivy League schools, USMA & USNA--and they all compromise admission standards for athletes (largely just for football at the service academies, but across nearly the full spectrum at the Ivies where I have visibility). None of those schools (except Stanford) offer athletic scholarships, but putting a thumb (or an arm) on the admissions scale is a very different thing.[/quote]
