Subject: Re: Harvard WR transfer Cooper Barkate transfers to Duke Author: IvySportsJunkie [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 15:27:52 01/03/25 Fri In reply to: Harvard Crimson Rule! 's message, "Harvard WR transfer Cooper Barkate transfers to Duke" on 16:26:23 12/29/24 Sun Good points, 2Cents. It will be interesting to see if the percentage of the Stanford football players majoring in the sciences goes down due to the extra travel associated with participation in the ACC Conference. While summer school is available to all students, Stanford has all its incoming freshmen student athletes take summer school. I do not believe that many incoming freshmen Ivy athletes take summer school. Dartmouth is the only Ivy school that requires all of its football players to take one session of summer classes. Dartmouth has its student athletes take summer school after they have completed either their freshmen or sophomore academic years. While Stanford has maintained its rigorous academic standards for its athletes, their football and basketball teams clearly have been adversely impacted by the transfer portal and NIL. On Stanford’s 2025 football roster, it shows a total of only 3 transfer players, who previously played at Yale, Northwestern and Washington. Historically, it has been difficult for undergraduate and graduate transfer students to secure admissions into the school. In order to be more competitive, Stanford is increasing its NIL commitment and making it easier for athletes to get access postbaccalaureate opportunities. Clay Patterson, a former All-Ivy Yale defensive lineman, is an example of this increased admissions flexibility for postbaccalaureate transfers. Clay has enrolled at Stanford as a non-degree seeking student, while playing for the Cardinal team. He is only taking classes in entrepreneurship, business and finance at Stanford. I do not believe that this non-degree option is available for undergraduate student athlete transfers. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

That was a frightening harbinger of the future of college sports. Is it all back to normal back on the Farm? No harm, no foul? All is forgiven? [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

But the AD who previously was universally viewed as top notch definitely took a hit. This is the university with the most NCAA titles. This is the university whose athletes frequently win more Olympic medals than most countries. Minor sports are important on the Farm. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
