I think Newton was the superior player in Andrew's soph year even if he was an under the table pro. Toby, Andrew in '11 and Mac in '15 were the best players in the country and close enough in the vote that early TV times might have been the difference. The Stanford administration is mum on the point and it appears that they offer no resistance to late kickoffs and last minute scheduling.
That said, it doesn't matter to the league and its bottom line-conscious administration. So now I can pick the games I wish to attend because you can always find a ticket if you really want to go. I'm sure that Larry What's his Name could care less.
Toby was before this contract and if the problem is that people were watching Alabama instead of Stanford, how would putting games on at the same time as Alabama's help anything?
The reason we get shafted is that we have a smaller fanbase and are on the west coast. Full stop. If you want the media to care about Stanford, there need to be more of us, and we need to move east of the Mississippi. Good luck.
