If Stanford doesn't want to be the best in football (and basketball) like they do in every other endeavor, academic or otherwise, then I agree with the author that Stanford should leave the Pac-12 and big-time football and, instead, compete with the likes of Cal Tech and Redlands...or drop football completely.

The idea of us playing Cal Tech cracks me up. I had a buddy in high school who played for them. He didn't start for our HS team, but was their star running back. He said the games were frustrating because half the team didn't show up for practice due to afternoon labs. So in games no one knew the plays.
