It’s also possible that for many (most) UC students, and, for that matter Stanford students, their connection to the school doesn’t flow through football.

Or, put another way, is the connection by students to UCLA any stronger than the connection to UCSB (which doesn’t have a D1 football team)?  Is the connection to Chicago or MIT or Harvard weaker than to Stanford, just because the latter has a P5 football team and the others either don’t have football or have a FCS team that doesn’t dole out scholarships?  Certainly, going on what Giants had to report, you’d think that if football had that big of an impact that Michigan’s campaign would crush Cal’s, but it doesn’t.

That being said, applications to Georgia are at record levels (I know, my son is one of them).
