I understand... and I half expect it from the SEC teams and others who are frequently getting top players (because a lot of those guys have been taught since before high school that their future NFL career [because it's guaranteed for them, ya know] is more important than anything like an education), but it seems surprising to me to see it from essentially a mid-major school. Maybe there are only so many smart people that play football and they all go to Stanford if they're any good.
