Jameis only signs items for old ladies he helps cross the street. He simply helps a lot of old ladies cross the street. It's a wonder he even makes it to class. But he does, which everybody also knows.

Or perhaps he signs items for FSU co-eds in exchange for rights to fuck them right in the pussy. Nah...he's a gentleman.

Uh,

That thing is horribly promisory in nature and I'm sure doesn't cover 3rd year drop outs who blow their knees out the second year of the NFL.

Pretty sure it doesn't cover just football players too. Not saying Stanford players aren't smarter than most, but I'm sure they're allowed to cut corners at admission like everyone else does.

Wonder if the Ivy League schools pitch the same way to get their FCS kids. Wouldn't surprise me if Stanford alum make the most money per graduate in the FBS given silicon valley is in their backyard.

Ivy Leagues don't give athletic scholarships. It's just that their needs-based packages are extremely aggressive compared to piddly land grant schools.

It specifically says Stanford Varsity Athletes, not football players but Varsity Athletes. Seems like they're going along with the NCAA commercial about how most college athletes go pro in something other than sports.

It depends. They're able to some degree, but it's more on a case-by-case basis. As a moderately smart collegiate athlete, Stanford would have a huge advantage over most other schools in my eyes. I don't know how many of you live in the Bay Area, but the post-graduation recruiting scene is so broadly different than the rest of the country. One of my best buds is a senior level at one of the big three consulting firms, so he flies out to do case study interviews when he's doing internal work between projects. The candidates in Chicago and New York are killing themselves to land the gig. The candidates in the Bay Area obviously take it more casually because they have more options open to them. It's goofy.

But, objectively, it's going to be way fucking easier to get a kid into Georgia or Ohio State or Michigan than Stanford. You'd have to be intellectually dishonest to not believe that.

6th grade reading levels wouldn't make it.

LSU and Texas have agreed to a two-game series. @Texas in 2019, @LSU in 2020. LSU will also be playing Miami in Dallas to open the 2018 season.

Bortles would love to have somebody, anybody, replace Toby Gerhart. We have the most pitiful rushing attack I've ever seen.

He's got Storm Johnson, his UCF teammate.

But it may not matter if the OLine doesn't open up any holes.

What are academic bans generally for: failing to do work, not up to standard or cheating?

Just wondering about these ND players who are all currently banned.

They have missed a lot of games, so it mustve been pretty serious. Though I would say failing to do work or it not being up to standard isnt too bad.
