Why is this news?  15 of the last 18 WBB at Stanford had 4.0 or better. I couldn't find GPAs for the other 3.  Of course FB gets breaks they support most other sports. We need this and thankfully we get it. The hiring of Bowlsby and Dean Shaw made this happen.

For most athletes it's very hard to get accepted.  This is a problem for all sports and even in FB

We've chatted about this before, Bob.  Are you sure that standards for WBB have not gotten tougher?  Perhaps simply as a result of overall standards going up?  If overall acceptance has fallen from 10% to 5% in the last decade, how does that affect non-football athletes?
