Serious question: What legitimate reasons can the University of Dead Fake Girlfriends use to claim it is a better option than Stanford for football players? 

I can see two:

1. Winning tradition
2. Everything that goes along with being more popular - bigger fan base, stadium, more media coverage

But honestly, what else is there after that?  And more honestly, how are those two factors all that meaningful at a time when Stanford has the second most wins in CFB over the last four years?

It probably also appeals to egomaniacs. ND football players are gods who can (nearly) do no wrong on campus, that's not true for Stanford. The anonymity of Stanford student life may appeal to Andrew Luck or Barry Sanders, but it won't to everyone.

Some of these kids are also probably catholic.
