Interesting story about Steve Young.

How long ago did this happen? That might explain some things.

It depends on what they are studying...an undergrad at BYU

BigYfan

I love BYU. But BYU is no Stanford.

CosmoK

9/30/16 1:28pm

Did you read what I said?

BigYfan

9/30/16 1:30pm

Why would you do that? I don't understand your reasoning. Not even a little.

beebs4lyfe

Data on his recommendations?

Gustav

9/30/16 1:40pm

Data that indicates that Stanford degrees are the equivalent of BYU degrees.

beebs4lyfe

Accounting is the only possible exception to Stanford being the academically superior and prestigious school

Stanford has the #2 MBA behind Harvard...BYU's is in the 30's

BigYfan

9/30/16 2:02pm

An MBA is irrelevant for a student athlete. It's a graduate degree

Many student athletes who redshirt go into those programs...for free

Maybe because your terminal degree is more important than your Bachelor's, and

What about 5 years at Stanford that result in both undergrad and graduate

shakinbaker

Make the kids life easier and tell him to go to Stanford.

WDaddy

Completely agree

gmycount

Are you serious? Please tell me you're not.

beebs4lyfe

9/30/16 1:29pm

There are certain undergrad degrees at BYU that match up very well to Stanford's

Mexbyualum

9/30/16 1:38pm

Lol, not true at all. Just having Stanford's name on your degree, regardless

Machiavelli

9/30/16 1:56pm

I'm not talking about reputation

Mexbyualum

9/30/16 2:10pm

Not true at all. Recruiters will take a Stanford grad over BYU grad regardless

Machiavelli

9/30/16 3:23pm

Not true.

Cougstreak

9/30/16 7:24pm

Not true.

Cougstreak

9/30/16 7:24pm

I don't think a grad degree should necessarily be a goal but BYU then a grad

Gustav

9/30/16 1:39pm

This is a fair answer, IMO.

CosmoK

You heard the story from someone who beard it from someone else who heard

BYUCoug11

9/30/16 1:24pm

Kid probably said he was thinking of going to Stanford

OU Cougar

9/30/16 1:26pm

Exactly. I seriously doubt Steve pushed him over the fence on the issue

Jericho

9/30/16 3:22pm

He is a senior now, the story came from his dad.

Blueandcoug

9/30/16 1:29pm

So hi to Casey for me.

Turnpike Lane

9/30/16 1:30pm

Casey would've told me that story. Wasn't Dallas.

If he stayed w/Steve and Steve was "boosting" Stanford, it sounds like a

chilango

9/30/16 1:29pm

I don't think Steve was "recruiting" anyone I think he just offered a Mormon

Blueandcoug

9/30/16 1:31pm

Don't think the Mormon part is relevant in a discussion on potential recruiting

chilango

9/30/16 1:35pm

I'm not claiming that I know much of the NCAA recruiting rules...

Blueandcoug

9/30/16 1:37pm

Steve was doing BYU a favor because he knew the kid sucked.

Caboom

9/30/16 1:31pm

He starts for Stanford....

Blueandcoug

9/30/16 1:31pm

See, he sucks. (I was joking btw)

Caboom

9/30/16 1:33pm

Same Class as Heaps, played QB. Was good advice, even with his mission and position change.

Turnpike Lane

9/30/16 1:33pm

Dallas Lloyd would have sucked at BYU!

BYUinTX

9/30/16 1:35pm

Really in what ways?

Blueandcoug

9/30/16 1:35pm

Like caboom. I am just joking. It seems that you tried to hide his identity.

BYUinTX

9/30/16 1:45pm

Or he knew that Bronco had peaked

RE: Or he knew that Bronco had peaked

Caboom

9/30/16 2:11pm

I'd recommend to anyone that they go to Stanford over BYU. It's a no brainer.

slowhiteguy

9/30/16 1:40pm

I too would go to Stanford over BYU, but it's not a no brainer.

shakinbaker

9/30/16 1:45pm

I went to BYU and my life turned out great.

CMuehle

Your life ain't over yet.....😉

Coug98

9/30/16 2:13pm

For me it was a no-brainer. Scholarships didn't change that.

9/30/16 5:33pm

I wouldn't and I have been an educator

What if you were interested in animation?

Mexbyualum

9/30/16 2:11pm

Depends upon the degree. BYU Bachelor Engineering degrees are far better.

You honestly think the difference in degree quality make the

Mr Blue

9/30/16 4:54pm

No way I'd still be Mormon today if I went to Stanford. BYU was by far the best school for my undergrad work.

HarlemCoug

9/30/16 7:30pm

A lot of alumni were unhappy during the Bronco years. See Jason Buck's rant as

Hard to draw a conclusion without knowing more. Maybe Steve saw something

StanfordCougar

Academics aren't close Stanford by a mile but there are lots of other factors.

runnincoug

Nope. I'd take BYU undergrad engineering degrees over Stanford's any day.

Marking Time

Bingo.

Cougstreak

9/30/16 7:27pm

You don't know the dozens of facts behind that recommendation...

LEDSFW

9/30/16 3:16pm

Well he will get more exposure at Stanford; Until BYU is P5 this will be true

RillDill

Think Stanford is the best football scholarship a player can get.

jensen46

This was back when Stanford wasn't good at football
