We should give Vandy credit........

[Fine Vol]

Vandy is competing with UT for recruits and that must be difficult. That school is based more on brains than brawn, so that fact that they can field a competitive team is impressive to me. So, in that aspect I give them credit.:hi:

Notre Dame and Stanford also have high academic standards, yet produce competitive teams. The same can also be said of the service academies. Most of the football players I knew in High School were in either the National Honor Society or the Beta Club.

True, but ND is a big football school that many players would love to have a chance to play there. Stanford is bigger of a draw than Vandy academically.

Vanderbilt alums think more than enough of themselves. Why should we step in and offer them more?

I'm with OWH. They already have to widen their doorways to fit their heads through.

Simply remind them of Peabody's academic reputation in comparison to Duke and Stanford. That generally brings them back to reality.

Vandy should get no credit for anything related to Athletics.

I've never heard Mississippi State grads claiming their school is on par with Harvard.

I don't know the specifics of that but most private schools, maybe all of 'em, will stretch the entry requirements for the right person. Vandy makes a big deal about not admitting athletes who cannot meet the academic entry requirements but there are plenty of knuckleheads attending school on West End who's only qualifying criteria was to be born into some wealthly family from Preston Hollow or Champion Forest and have a mumsie who was a Tri-Delt at Vandy.
