I lived and worked in the Silicon Valley for the past 20+ years and know many well connected Stanford alums. To a person, they're all weirdos. People in the Bay Area are so disconnected from normal society it's beyond imagination, even more so among high net worth types. They are all Godless globalists who've accepted the programming. There is no hope for these people.

Moving back to Florida after 30 years on NorCal was a life saving event for me. It's beyond comprehension just how different life in normal America is from life in NorCal.

Very few will understand what I just posted but it goes to the heart of OP's question.

I get you. Someone mentioned Harvard which I am well acquainted with.
My wife got her Masters from Harvard and sits on the board of one of the Harvard medical schools. At the graduation ceremony, which the key speaker was Julio Frenk, a year before he became President of UM, the ceremony was held in a large tent with large Harvard medical buildings on all sides. It was hotter than hades with no breeze.
They handed out Harvard branded water bottles which, I **** you not, had a disclaimer on the bottle stating and I paraphrase, that Harvard does not condone the use of plastic water bottles, which are a detriment to the environment, but is making an exception for the welfare of faculty and the student body.
These ******* elitists live in an alternate universe.

Duke is an Ivy-level school and has an elite hoops program. It can be done.

A lot easier to get 10 solid to elite guys in than it is to get 50-80 solid to elite guys. There's a reason why Duke has been mediocre at best, and outright bad in football for DECADES. You need far more bodies in football, which means you need to make a commitment.

Totally agree with you and @SFbayCane. In particular, the comment about alternate universe. There is reality where 99.5% of us live. Then there is this make believe mental space where these folks spend their time arrogantly knowing better than the commonfolk. And you don’t dare disagree with them.

Precisely why I posted a video sampling their “tailgates” in this thread.

God help them when we have an away game at Stanford.

This has also caused them to lose some of their own graduate players because some of them weren’t accepted into the Stanford graduate school. They have had to enroll at a different school for their grad years.

Because Stanford like Harvard or Yale Values Academics ,Medicine & Science much More than Sports.

Much Like Donna Shalala wanted to Turn Miami into the Harvard of the South.The money “Booster Alums “gave didn’t go to Athletics.

These Schools 🏫 Make their Money Milking the Mases of parents & students dreaming of Having a Degree 📜 that Says Stanford to put on the Wall.
Go check how much a 4 Year Tuition is At Stanford

Well, the more ACC teams in the Top 20 and playoffs, the more respect the ACC gets and the more $$ UM gets.
It also improves our SOS with the selection committee if we beat an 8-4 and ranked Stanford in a given year than a 2-10 Stanford.

Until such time as a major realignment takes place.

Stanford just seemed to me to have more potential to improve in the NIL world than a Wake or BC.
 
When final big shift in CFB that everyone is predicting happens, I wouldn’t be surprised if Stanford just dropped football, or went down a level, like the Ivys.
