Alvarez said he understood why some state prospects might not accept a walk-on offer.

"If they have one they probably should take it," he said, referring to a scholarship offer, even one from a smaller school. "Unless they are set on playing Big Ten football, being on TV and having a chance to go to bowl games.

"But if it is about your parents can't afford it and somebody has offered you a scholarship, you probably should take it."




If Alvarez's comments have any reference to Gardner (maybe they don't but if not why quote him here?), I hope Stanford uses them as bulletin-board material. 

Gardner plays Pac 12 football (hardly inferior to the glorious, criminal Big 10) is all over TV and goes to a "smaller" school few with the choice would pass up to go to Wisconsin.  We'll now see if he doesn't also play on a better football team.
