Robertson3, I had the same thought. But the founder and CEO of Capital One Richard Fairbank is a Stanford alum - undergrad and MBA.

Maybe someone else in the executive suite loves lacrosse.
But it is an odd weighting when you look at participation. Only 67 D1 men's lacrosse teams. Only 103 D1 women's lacrosse teams.  Comparative participation in other sports - cross country (342W, 313M), golf (260W, 297M), swimming/diving (196W, 135M), tennis (319W, 261M), track (~320W, ~270M). And yet lacrosse is triple weighted?
