Has any football player in the past 20 years started their MBA at Stanford while playing their fifth year? Seems pretty far-fetched to me to believe that a place that basically has getting drunk every friday afternoon on the curriculum is going to allow a full-time football player who won't even be around to 'network' with his classmates.

Nobody in the past decade that I know of. The admit rate is TINY in the first place. Although we've seen alumni come back for MBAs at the GSB; Toby Gerhart is there now I think.

not a football player but I believe Mark Madsen also went to GSB

In Madsen’s case it was after he’d already had an NBA career and been an assistant coach for a couple of years (in the NBA D-league).  Much much harder to make an NBA program straight out of college or as a fifth year because most programs will want business experience.

Vague memories of Shockley leaving the team in ‘71. Hey Q do you remember?

I don’t have many brain cells left from that period, LOL. That was the Bunce year. I looked up Shockley’s stats for ‘71 and they would be consistent with some kind of early season-ending injury or other event.
 
I do remember he had a big run of about 50 yds against Arkansas but I think that was the year before.

I think I have a definitive answer for you.
I was exploring Sun Life Stadium (now known as Hard Rock Stadium) in Miami on January 3, 2011, before kickoff of the Orange Bowl.  I saw a player with a white jersey, a single sewn-on cardinal stripe at the end of the sleeves, and the name "Shockley" in sewn-on letters.  I recognized it as no ordinary uniform.  I tapped him on the shoulder and asked if that was indeed a 1972 Rose Bowl jersey.  It was, and it was Hillary Shockley wearing it.

I seem to remember that Kurt Colehower was an HM-All-Pac-10 around 1985 as a Stanford OLB.  Sixth in tackles with 61.  Master's in Economics (science, not GSB).
