This goes directly against the grain of the original Stanford charter. One of the directives was that all freshmen start at the same time and must reside on campus to obtain the best college experience. I guess having a good football team is more important than that now.
It almost seems like Stanford is slightly conflicted about whether it is a sports factory or an institution focused on academics.
I'm ambivalent about the change. It probably will attract a few additional recruits and make some sports teams slightly better with a few freshmen having slightly more experience training with their future teammates.
