I agree with Goose (although I do think Baker's walk on story is special and says something positive about him) but the H voters have proven they dont care about integrity or academics or even the best athletic performer if he is on late at night.
But at least for 5-10 minutes on the program we get to watch a Stanford athlete doing stem cell research, talking about his desire to be a doctor, and speaking articulately about what his athletic experience at Stanford means to him. I think (hope) that the kids and parents we are targeting are watching and absorbing, and if so that is a big win for us. Not as big as if we actually won the H award, and I feel bad for our guys who should have won, but its still a big win for our program.
