247 all on this one, says he's all Oregon. Nice, that calms some nerves.

Being perfectly honest here, I would choose Stanford over Oregon if I could gain admission into the latter. I'm pleased we retained his commitment, naturally, but Stanford has undeniable superiority in academics and providing quality post-football career options.

Yeah, the question for me would be how vested I am in the idea of playing in the NFL. If that was my dream, I'd go with Oregon, but if it wasn't, Stanford has much better academics, better weather, and I think a nicer campus.

+1... I agree about this, likely bragging that was an option for him and it depends on his long term goals. Andrew Luck is amazingly motivated and sharp to do architecture and D1 Football, let alone at QB. I know someone who is wrestler at Stanford. He got in because he is a amazing wrestler, great grades, decent scores, but not incredible scores, which is what it takes to get into Stanford, Like 2200 plus and amazing in something else, too. My daughter did not get in and she was a borderline D1 soccer player, perfect grades 1st in class valedictorian, 2050 score. She plays D3 soccer and loves it and loves her school. A friend of hers plays D1 soccer and though she likes it. She hates the full time job time commitment. Another wrestler I know went to OSU on scholarship. He did not get into Stanford though, he had a contingent offer because he needed a 3.7 and a 1900 SAT and did not get it. Another friend played football at Stanford thirty years ago. He did get a scholarship and an engineering degree, but he hated it and the push, grind and pressure of D1 Football. He still today does not really like football much.

Different departments within schools can be better or worse than others regardless of over-all academic reputation. So, seems like it would depend some on major as well.

Exactly. You can go to Oregon and take a bull-crap major and get your degree with ease, but you can also take a tough major at Oregon. Obviously Stanford is a better school, but if you make college worthwhile to you at Oregon, you will get a lot out of it.

Also, I'm very glad Lake is still committed!
