Thx, 81alum.  Always enjoyed chatting with you at games.  The pay site is kinda of like a newspaper or magazine.  You pay a few dollars a month to access their content.  They have a dedicated mod/reporter whose sole job is to create content - interviews, stories, etc. about Stanford and also to develop sources to ferret out info about these sort of things.  He gets paid to do that full time as part of the On3 network of college sites.  If they opened it up free, there would be nobody to create the content.  He does have sources inside the athletic department and does talk to players and parents (various sports) so he can get scoops we cannot.  There are others on there who have their own sources as well.
