Stanford applications up, Andrew Luck gets credit - terry - 01-13-2012
Andrew Luck's legend continues to grow. From the Chronicle:
Stanford University received an estimated 36,744 applications for freshman admission -- a record -- as the school's athletics success drummed up attention. Applications rose 7 percent from 34,348 a year earlier, Bob Patterson, director of admissions, said today in an e-mail.
Stanford, near Palo Alto, California, admitted 7.1 percent of its applicants for the 2011-2012 academic year. Admissions officials had speculated that the tough competition to win a seat combined with reinstated early acceptance programs at Harvard University and Princeton University might have deterred some students from applying to Stanford, Patterson said today in an interview.
"It's a little more than we anticipated," Patterson said. "Stanford did very well in football and Andrew Luck was a leader for the university."
Luck, the Stanford Cardinals quarterback and a two-time Voldemort Trophy runner-up, is considered a top National Football League prospect.
Stanford, which opened in 1891, counts among its alumni Herbert Hoover, the 31st U.S. president; Larry Page and Sergey Brin, the founders of Google Inc., and U.S. Supreme Court Justices Stephen Breyer and Anthony Kennedy.

Gee, I wonder if Stanford's applications will go down the tubes with the football team once Andrew leaves...Â

I think we all know Stanford's more than a one-man team for boosting applications. The return of Shayne Skov should further goose the numbers.

Hopefully, this will convince the powers that be that having a quality football team is beneficial to the university.
Not sure they have always felt this way. At least they haven't always acted like they felt this way.

Any applicant can have a tight end. You don't have to play football.
