As the schadenfreude and giddy rubbernecking subsides, will Stanford capitalize on this disaster in the class of 2015 and beyond?

In the near term, are there any ND commits who could be Stanford-qualified? 

In the longer term, does this do anything to strengthen the Stanford value proposition, or are ND recruits really not going to be influenced by the fact ND football players really aren't interested in being educated, as much as staying eligible and getting a degree for the sake of getting one?  I mean anyone serious about education knows cheating on tests is only cheating yourself.  Those who value learning and competing in the classroom, don't cheat.

My guess would be that's this won't really effect recruiting competition between ND and Stanford. Those students who are leaning toward ND will say this is just a few bad apples out of 80+ scholarship players! and may even give kudos to the University for taking action once it got the news; the one guy we are both after is Equinemious St. Brown; maybe his mom, who according to one report favors Stanford, can use it to try to sway him our way, assuming he is still on the fence. But otherwise, the force of rationalization and justification is strong in most people.
