And I'm saying you're an idiot if you have to justify Vaughters choosing Stanford simply to have "more time to study" or trying to claiming he picked Stanford over an academically inferior SEC school, because he didn't want to play "hard". Also idiotic is the notion that they're not training as much. The NCAA holds all intercollegiate football programs to the same training duration guidelines, of which 99% of the head coaches try to maximize. So you can cut the bullshit.

They don't hand out degrees, but they certainly hand out acceptance letters. When you have 60, 70, 80+% acceptance rates, you're definitely not taking the nation's premier students, nor creating the type of reputable academic atmosphere that true STUDENT-athletes are going to hold in high regard, Vaughters seemed to realize that. Lol he chose Stanford to "maintain a 4.0 GPA", while competing in an intercollegiate sport, at STANFORD? Are you really that naive???

i remember when i meet this guy after his freshman season he would shut up about his 14 sack he got as a freshmen but when u think about it he was a lil freshman

@furorimpius P.S.... GO CARD!!

Smart decision. Go to Stanford, win a national championship, AND get an excellent education. One reason why Stanford has a difficult time recruiting is that even athletes are required to meet their rigorous admissions standards. Kudos to James Vaughn for showing his strength as both an athlete and a student.

i wonder if anyone that is commenting on James choice to go to Stanford actually know him like that. james is an extremely smart person, i would know because i sit next to him in AP Lit., and he picked Stanford because it's not only a good school academic wise, but for football too, quit overanalyzing things

@IbanezRokr

What insult? I made a generalized conditional statement. For example, you're an idiot if you jump out of a plane without a parachute. Likewise, you are an idiot if you think Vaughters simply picked Stanford for "more studying time", which isn't a valid point because of similar NCAA guidelines to all football programs. Also you're an idiot if you think a conditional statement is a direct insult.

Nice way of avoiding addressing the previous comment, though by acting insulted.
