Stanford is an academic powerhouse, and their student athletes are very much student athletes. Their signees must qualify academically, so it’s safe to say their overall intelligence level is superior to that of other schools, especially, according to Stanford Head Coach David shaw, to those schools in the SEC.

Paul Finebaum tweeted out a screenshot from an ESPN broadcast graphic quoting Shaw talking about holding satellite camps.

Now, Shaw was actually talking about holding satellite camps nationally, not just in SEC country (that one’s on you, ESPN), but this has to be a subtle insult at all the folks in Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Georgia. Sure, those states are full of athletes, but they aren’t full of Einsteins.

    Let’s be honest. The Stanford football players are: getting a top 3-5 education in the world, always threats to win the Rose Bowl (McCaffrey is the odds-on favorite to win the Heisman this year), and they get California weather.

    You’re lying if you say you wouldn’t want to play there

      It’s one of the best football/education combos you’re gonna get, along with Michigan, Notre Dame, occasionally GT. (Probably left a couple out, don’t crucify me.)

        Northwestern looked like they had a chance of being a solid football program/ education school and then they just imploded.

    I honestly doubt all there football players have near prefect SAT’s and 4.0+ high school GPA’s.

    Almost 30% of Stanford’s roster is from the south (SEC school states + North Carolina and Virginia). But okay dude.

        But only 3 from Florida which is the 2nd best recruiting market in the country. I believe Shaw was directly referring to Florida when talking about the camps.

    Texas A&M is consistently ranked one of the top 25 public schools in the nation, and has recently been regarded as one of the best research schools in the country as well.

    All of you writers at TFM are a bunch of Texas State grads that pretend like you went to UT. Keep pretending like Texas Tech, West Virginia, OK. State, and Kansas State are any better than your average SEC school.

    Except on his current roster, he has 3 Florida, 4 Louisiana, 1 South Carolina, 3 Texas, 1 Tennessee, and 3 Georgia active players. Considering there are 71 players on Stanford’s roster, that means 20% of his players are from these states that he is pretending don’t matter.
