    Fuck Stanfurd. I’ve been waiting for Shaw to start slipping and he just fell the fuck down.

    But they do it the right way. No mercenaries allowed.

    If I'm reading the situation correctly, this is entirely an issue with Stanford players qualifying for grad school there. Twelve out of the 13 in the portal will have graduated and are looking for grad transfers. I believe Stanford makes them actually qualify for and get accepted into a graduate program to stay a fifth year. I'm guessing the graduate programs there probably aren't too keen on easing requirements for jocks. Or too keen on jocks in general.

    I'd be curious to see if this is a problem going back to previous years and, if not, what's changed. I don't think it's as simple as "every senior on the team wants to leave because they hate it."

    Costello is legit good, and UW is a few scholarships shy of 85. I'm not sure the short term benefits of going the mercenary route are worth the future implications with recruiting and whatnot. I also think the whole grad transfer program in general is shitty and should be amended with some kind of rule that players take a full course load for the entire year in their graduate program of choice or both the player and school face stiff penalties.

    Isn't there something about UW that prevents grad transfers? I can't remember the last one.

    I think the something was Pete.

    Not calling you out, but this is complete bullshit. There is NOTHING about this anywhere. If there were a new policy at Stanford wouldn't Wilner be all over it? This is 100% an in house issue at Furd.

    Unless I missed something g shouldn’t Wilmer be all over this mass exodus regardless of why? This is unprecedented.

    FWIW Brennan Scarlett graduated from Cal and played a year at furd as a grad transfer. At the time it was discussed on BI that furd was more accommodating with their grad acceptance in allowing him to come play with his little brother for a year

    If you wanted to stay and couldn't get into the right grad program, why not just go for a 2nd major?

    Stanford players are smart. When you're a grad transfer, you can enter the portal and find the best program for you without needing to sit out a year. Explore all your options, and if you don't find something better elsewhere, you can always fall back to Stanford. It's not like Shaw is going to say no.
