When you go to buy cola, do you buy Coke or the generic "Cola" brand?  The point being, that if kids/parents are being forced to increase academic accomplishments, why wouldn't they want the "it" brand, if they can have it, by in this case being admitted to Stanford?  I mean look at Ben Edwards.  He was committed to Auburn, but when it looked like he had a good shot at getting into Stanford, he de-committed from Auburn, and said publicly he will go to Stanford if admitted.

My assertion is there will be more Ben Edwards types if the academic bar for football scholarships at the major football factories rises.
