And you're probably too old to recall how good Stanford has been in the past 4 years. Your statement was:

 

"However why would any kid choose Oregon St over Stanford?  Or Ole Miss over Vandy?  Your football experience isnt going to be that much better, if at all, and you walk away with a much more valuable education."

 

 

A player would choose Stanford over Oregon St. because Stanford has gone to 4 straight BCS Bowl games and is 46-8 in the past 4 years. Simple answer. The football experience will me much different at Stanford than Oregon St. Like I said, bad example.
