A Cal player finally graduates and this is what happens.

Surprised to read that he is Stanford's first graduate transfer.

. Still, receive a degree while performing as an elite athlete with a year of eligibility left, then gain admission to a Stanford graduate program.  And I do not buy the thought that they just let anyone in because he/she is an elite jock.  Sorry, don't buy it.

Yeah I don't see graduate schools compromising admissions standards for athletes.  But they should certainly take athletic into consideration as evidence of achievement and commitment.

The other two I know of were T&F and graduated from Harvard

One of the earlest transfers was Menzies Campbell from Glasgow University in the 1960's.  He could have ginve Isiah Brandt-Sims a run for his money (10.2 100m, hand-timed) in T&F and Corey Booker a run for his money in the political arena...
