Stanford does okay.
For years and years and years Ivy teams kicked ass and from what I remember when I applied to Harvard (and was accepted) it seemed pretty hard to get in.
But, Rosen is right and I have said it for years...those guys have it a bit more rough than we like to pretend. Now, are the demands stupid? Yes, they are but they are still demands that have to be met.
Now, do football and school "go together" yes, they do, there are lots of students that work a lot or full time and still go to school. So yeah, it goes together. It is just harder.
