  1. I like soccer, but Mia Hamm was so mentally tough that she begged out of taking a PK in the World Cup final, after customarily being one of the five players who took a PK after extra time.
  2. Stanford always does quite well without NIL money. Imagine adding a little? https://nacda.com/news/2023/6/13/directorscup-stanford-grand-valley-johns-hopkins-and-indiana-tech-secure-learfield-directors-cups.aspx
  3. You are quite dense. So Oregon State doesn't have big donors and no national titles and a new collective, You think Stanford can find some big donors going forward, and get some NIL money in the future? (especially since collective was formed after last years acceptance deadline)
  4. This is the 4th time you have questioned me about my name was on the old board. I find that a bit odd. It is pretty much common knowledge, and I don't try to hide it. I've actually had my old name in responses to you. Somehow you are strangely fixated on it. Pretty weird. I did not attend Iowa. They are probably my second favorite current team, mostly because I was a fan of the Lee/Kem/Marnirelli/ etc. teams. I was a Lee fan, and the other guys grew on me.
  5. So Dan, how much NIL money did the DAM use to win Oregon State athletes national titles?
  6. You clearly did not attend Stanford. Let me repeat: They have had less than a year with their collective. It is too early to see how much the NIL money will help Stanford sports. Give it a year or two. They were behind everyone else. I'm not even actively involved in this facet of the discussion, just bringing up a fact.
  7. Exactly my point, and the Cornell network is going to be extremely helpful in this situation. As far as "starting salary isn't everything," I would certainly agree, but it is about the only quantifiable data we have here. Thus, unless you are aware of some other data points, I think Cornell wins this one.
  8. Info from each school has the Cornell Civil Engineering graduate with a starting salary slightly higher than his UIUC counterpart.
  9. Yes to both. #1 in the nation, probably isn't worth as much as the same degree from an Ivy. Yes, I know that UIUC engineering is great, but that Ivy degree and the connections that it brings are likely priceless, (Not to mention if you want to branch out/switch fields....) (And I was also going to mention that there are probably very few wrestlers in these programs)
  10. https://www.si.com/college/stanford/football/lifetime-cardinal-to-help-stanford-rejoin-the-rest-of-college-football-in-the-modern-era-with-nil-push A little early in the game. The collective has been around less than a year. I'm sure that Koll will be a man of principle and not delve into the seedy universe of NIL!
  11. I disagree. People might choose Cornell over a Big 10 school, because of the Ivy status. Envision a Meyer Shapiro type recruit. This recruit wants the Ivy degree and the network that comes with it, but also has ways around Ivy rules and admissions standards. Therefore it clearly 'applies to more than the Ivies.'
  12. Sure, but offering the benefits of an Ivy education and Ivy aid packages with unique loopholes around Ivy rules.
  13. It is a Yianni match. Yianni matches have been known to be somewhat chaotic. They need to be ready for this. These are professional athletes and professional coaches. They need to be held to a higher standard. Embarrassing.
  14. While reading it, I imagined the return of TBar and the two battling it out.
  15. That is my understanding
  16. Wasn't he like three states away? Is it possible there is some confusion here?
  17. There is a lot to like about Koll, but I can almost guarantee that he's going to make sure the NIL funds are pouring in soon. He'd already gotten a commit from Joe DeSena's kid, and that certainly won't hurt. The way college admissions trends are looking, it might only be a matter of time before Stanford drops SAT/ACT requirements, removing a barrier for undergraduate entry.
  18. Definitely something to that, and Provo wasn't actually a transfer, but Koll did certainly poach him.
  19. Committed to Cornell. Switched commitment that summer that Koll left. https://www.gfacademy.org/athletics/dragon-nation-blog/single-post-dragon-nation/~board/dragon-nation-blog/post/provo-wrestles-with-a-tough-decision-takes-talents-to-stanford
