IMO Walter Rouse has explained his situation quite well. He came to Stanford with a primary focus of academics and a secondary focus on football. His experiences at Stanford, both in academics and in football, revealed that he possibly has a future in the NFL. As he points out, that window of opportunity is a narrow one in time. He has shifted his focus to football and transferring was a necessary step in maximizing his NFL potential. Makes all the sense in the world IMO. Rouse says he fully intends to complete his Stanford degree, as I understand his comments. Whether he does or does not, changing your goals may require leaving Stanford. This is especially true if the goals have a time limit associated with them.
