 Wth early matriculation and summer school/summer practices, earning a degree in 3+ years is a likely scenario for many of these players.  We need to make the program such a success that leaving early is an unlikely and an unwise choice.

Being realistic, keeping players who already have a degree will be possible if 1) they are essentially certain to actually play in their grad transfer year,, 2) they haven't already shown enough for the NFL, and 3) nobody is offering them lots more money than Stanford is willing to pay. That isn't a large subset of graduating players. There is also the distinct possibility that their academic endeavors will be better served by leaving. Going to prominent school in the area where they want to live may create opportunities that are much more attractive than staying at Stanford . Therefore retaining such players will probably be quite difficult.

Also, pretty sure they have to be admitted to a Stanford grad program. Yes, I’ve read the discussion about “special programs.” Just wanted to complete the requirements list.
