Really? Scott Frost a native Nebraskan chose Stanford over Nebraska in 1993. Have times really changed that much? Academically, Stanford is hands down better than Nebraska. Maybe he chose academics over athletics. You win some, you lose some.This kind of thing.

Yes, we were mentioned about 3 times today on ESPN's recruiting special and only in relation to Andrus Peat. In which he promptly punked us and we were never mentioned again.Irrelevant? That is irrational.
It's not like Peat ruined this class. We landed quite a few other quality recruits. A whole class full of them. A top 25 ranked class, I believe. If espn has nothing to say about a top-25 class other than pointing to the big one that got away, then espn is an a$$.Yes, we were mentioned about 3 times today on ESPN's recruiting special and only in relation to Andrus Peat.

:facepalm:^ while academics played a part - i don't think this one was as much about academics as some are making it out to be. this was about football. it was about playing on an OL that is going to put him in the best position to play on Sundays. His older brother made the same decision I think...it was about him getting on a DL that put him in the best position to make it to the NFL.
you could also read into this and assume the Peats aren't 100% sold on the program...if they were this wouldn't have been much of a decision. it shouldn't have been.
Yes, standing in the unemployment line the man behind the desk asks "Where did you get your degree?" I graduated from the University of Nebraska Lincoln, how about you?

Shouldn't have been a decision? Really? What is Peat gets hurt and can't play football in the NFL? Im sure employers will be much more impressed with Stanford on his resume than Nebraska.
